a few words about new material (or the lack of it)
I'm taking a break from preparing the draft of my closing argument for the law skills "trial" that will occur this Thursday and I find myself considering the paucity of blog entries. There just doesn't seem to be enough time these days to relay all the things that occupy my mind: school, work, sleep, supplementary reading for my classes, leisure reading, play time for Wallace, sleep, responding to email, sharing more of the tidbits that have come my way, sleep, sleep, sleep...
Maybe I'll feel somewhat relieved if I list those things that have made my fingers reach out for the keyboard: follow-up notes on my Mearsheimer posting re China/U.S. relations (more sources of information for those of you who have expressed an interest in Mearsheimer's views and clarification of my comments); an introduction to tracks from Stephen Miller's Man of Leisure cd, and a forum for more of Stephen's work (believe me when I say that his CD has helped get me through this spring semester!); other food and wine adventures we've managed to sneak in here and there; news of Wallace, the canine light of my life...and many other things that my frazzled brain now forgets.
a bit of law school news...
The semester ends on 9 May, and the following week I'll start working as a faculty research assistant. Although I don't yet know the faculty member with whom I'll work, the research assistant program is an excellent opportunity to work on a research project and possibly to contribute toward legal scholarship. It's also a good way to keep the mental wheels turning--although I'm looking forward to a break from classes, I don't want to get rusty before the start of the next semester in August!
Back to the books!
