Until the other side

So this just might be my last post until after finals. Things are getting really busy and the panic is starting to set in. All of my peers are starting to stress out, some are even burning out, and I am trying my best not to buy into that. The last thing I need is to let the mounting stress and anxiety of everyone else pull me down so I'm crazy and ineffective for finals. I'd rather they get each other stressed out, and then I use their broken bodies to climb my way to the top of my class rankings! Just kidding. No but seriously...

I'm excited to come to Utah and do some snowboarding and then head to Colorado for Christmas. Hopefully I'll get to see most of you while I'm traveling around. The break will be nice and I'm hoping I don't have to do, see, hear, or think about anything law related.

Just to finish out, I was sad to hear about Steve and Cathryn Roundy. This is a huge tragedy, but I'm glad they were able to find their bodies so their families can have closure. I'm also glad that Mike and Kimball are ok. Anytime something tragic like this happens I think about how easily things can go wrong in the outdoors. It doesn't take much for nature to catch us off-guard and steal away the last few moments of our lives.

I appreciate everyone's comments and like to hear from everyone. Keep them coming! I hope to post again, but the days fly by, and it might be in person the next time you hear from me!

Keeping On...

The last two weeks have been hell, but I think I'm getting better prepared for finals. I have had my last mid-term, I'm taking my first graded test tomorrow, and I had a writing assignment I had to do on top of all the normal reading and class preparation. It's rough. But that's what this game is all about. Surviving, and doing it better than everyone else. I think that's why lawyers get a bad rap. It's because we're programmed in school to not think about just doing well, but doing well compared to everyone else. It's very kill or be killed. And I don't like being killed. That leaves me only one option. I knew that my ambition, perfectionism, and penchant for Social Darwinism would pay off one day. Giddyup!

I'm taking the weekend off though, because our friend Brittney is coming to visit and we're going to hit Disneyland. I'll try and take some pictures to post. It'll be a nice break and fun to have a friend here to visit. I guess everyone else is too good to come visit Malibu where the beach is only up the road, the temperature is about 75-80 degrees, there are beautiful girls in bikinis, Brittney Spears and Mel Gibson live up the road, and it never snows. I guess that sort of thing isn't for everyone. Too bad. For those who aren't into that sort of thing I hear Lehi, Utah is nice.
