Todo Sobre Eva

One of the most fun activities of the break - re-watching this witty film. Why can't they write movies like this anymore?

"You're maudlin and full of self-pity. You're magnificent!"

Which Way?

So, the semester is over. We had our last final yesterday and vacation has officially started - school resumes on January 14.

I'm not thrilled about how exams went - I almost certainly could have done better, and waiting for grades for another month will probably drive me mad - but they're over, at least. Now I'll just have to find something else to spend time doing. Probably job applications. And maybe books and movies. And - my trip to NYC of course.

Light Reading

One of the downsides of school is the fact that there really can't be very much in my life besides school, with all the work that has to get done. I can't, for example, sit down on the couch and read a book - because at this point there are at least three other things I should be doing with that time. And because I'm in school and without any sort of income, I can't do as many interesting things as I could while working. I can't decide on a whim to spend $500 to fly to London, for example. Of course, I've been lucky over the last few years to actually have some disposable income so it's not exactly fair to feel unfulfilled, especially given our current economic situation. But adjustments can be tricky.

Day of the Rest

At one point I was hoping that Saturday would be my non-law school day.

How silly of me - or perhaps even arrogant. It's not like I got in this to escape.

Caesura

It's slightly shocking how even two days off can reduce us to giddy relief. I choose to see it as the analog to a powernap - let's hope it proves refreshing. No class till Wednesday!
