Law school life continues much as it did last week. I've had a cold for a little while, but I think it is nearly gone now, so that is good. I had a prety uneventful weekend. Here is what I did ( Read more... )

So I got called on in class for the first time yesterday. For those of you who are not law students, it is much more terrifying that it sounds. You have likely seen the socratic method used in movies about law school. Well, it is kind of like that. Different professors do it differently, and the particular professor in whose class I was called ( Read more... )

So, the other night some friends and I went to Oktoberfest. Yes, I can save you the trouble of looking at your calendar, it is in fact still September. Clearly this matters not to the Ann Arbor Brewing Company, who threw the Oktoberfest celebration. There was lots of beer, and some German musicians, who had quite a wide repetoire, ranging from ( Read more... )

I have come to the conclusion after a week and a day of law school, that Hutchins Hall is the closest thing to Hogwarts you will ever find. The staircases don't actually move, but they may as well for how well I can navigate them. There are a lot of stairs, they all look alike, and I never know exactly where I'm going to end up when I take them ( Read more... )

So, you may have heard (as I indeed had not at the time I visited Michigan last April) that the University of Michigan has a football team. A pretty good one. With average attendance of 100,000 people per game ( Read more... )

I went over to a local cafe to sip some coffee and read some more. I sat down at a tall table by the window so that I could gaze at passersby as I mulled over false imprisonment in my head. I soon noticed a little kid behind me, on the floor, and his mom talking to him about something near the base board. I looked down and saw that they were ( Read more... )

You may have noticed that I have not been upating my blog as often as I recently have. That is because nothing terribly exciting has been happening. I have been reading. A lot. A whole whole lot. Which is perfectly fine, as I was forewarned and I am actually interested in what I am reading (at least so far). It just makes for a pretty boring ( Read more... )

So, here I am, sipping coffee in the Michigan Union's coffeeshop, playing with a campus-wide wireless connection. I just had some lunch downstairs, which was also nice. This student union, by the way, is over 100 years old. It's a huge stone and brick building with old wood panelling everywhere. It's gorgeous. Not as much so as the law school ( Read more... )

I had planned to sleep in today, as I am not going to have many more opportunities to do so, what with my 8:00 Civil Procedure class. However, a bird of some sort had other plans for me, which included perching in a tree somewhere near my window and going "Caw, caw," really loudly every time I was about to drift back off to sleep. I managed to ( Read more... )

Here I am in my cozy little bedroom in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'm still in the process of unpacking, although the room is already looking pretty good. The books and clothes and shoes are all put away. I have some pictures out and sitting around. And, as you can see, I got my wireless internet to work ( Read more... )
