I'd never read a historical romance novel before last week; I'm not sure I even knew they existed. But then a friend lent me four Georgette Heyer novels and now I love her and her books and am left wondering where this week has gone. Has anyone read her ( Read more... ) -

2) It snowed today and yesterday. It is the end of April and in normal cities, you expect showers or flowers. But I'm trying not to rise to the bait of the crazy weather, because I leave for Europe in three days. I'm going with two friends on ( Read more... ) -
I am clearly not a Decider: please help!
I am almost entirely sure I'm going to law school this fall. However, I'm not sure where to go. I've been accepted at five schools and have narrowed (slightly) the choices to three: the University of Toronto, Columbia and New York University (NYU).
