So it’s been a while since I’ve posted.  My excuse is that I had my password saved on Internet Explorer which has decided not to work on my computer anymore.  I have now switched to Firefox like everyone else.  My computer is currently in the process of falling apart.  It will now not work without having the power cord plugged in and it has decided not to really connect to wireless anymore.  Needless to say, I rely on good ol fashioned pens and paper in class.  It’s starting to get cold outside.  I checked weather.com and it’s supposed to snow next weekend! I haven’t seen real snow in many many years so it’ll be a real shock.  Especially considering I’ve never experienced a real fall (the leaves are actually supposed to fall?!) and had to sweep up all the leaves on my front stairs.  I had a stressful week when 3 different assignments were due (a memo, a paper for Energy, and an outline for Extinctions) but the stress has passed, and a whole new wave of academic concerns is about to come up.  Another memo (the pressure is on now because there was only one A out of both classes on the last one), the Ethics paper and presentation, the Extinctions paper, and, of course, finals.  I only have two finals this semester, Energy and Environmental Law.  Energy is a take home and Environmental Law is an open materials final.  Not to say that I’m not thoroughly enjoying my classes…I definitely am.  Each class and each professor has their own quirks that are great.  If only I could list quotes from Professor Firestone…he makes me laugh more than any other professor I have.  Out of all the classes I am taking this semester, I only truly dislike one of them.  One out of five is not bad at all.  I’ve been going out of town a lot on the weekends while I still can before it gets too cold for me to travel comfortably.  I’ve made my last trip for a while (minus Thanksgiving…I’m going home to California) and I have an undetermined trip to Boston to visit my friend Kate from college (she’s in grad school there).  By that time, I’m sure I’ll need to escape back to a big city, and away from other law school students to study for finals.  Thursday night I went on an adventure with my friend Sarah and scoped out potential places to study for finals.  It’s scary that its the first week of November and we already have to start worrying about finals!!!

This post was all over the place! I’ll be posting more often now that I remember my password : )
