I'm all the way up to 30 pages on my law review paper.  Tomorrow I'm going to start expanding the law section of it, which I've been putting off, because I'm not sure how much it really matters.  And Sunday, I'm going to be bold: I found out there's a stitch and bitch (crafty people knit and sew while talking) Sundays at 1 at the Yale bookstore, so ( Read more... )
