I knew this would happen

Aaaaaaa! Too much to talk about, not enough time to say it! Aaaaaaaa!

Ok, so life is crazy busy right now. Totally bonkers. It's so busy that I'm in one of the school lounges instead of the library because too many classmates study in the library and that can get distracting. Yeah yeah, we can see how well this plan is working since I'm posting instead of working, but I can only do so much.

So, very fast updates. Two weeks ago I helped to found the Poverty Law Society here on campus, because yeah, I don't have enough to do. This school has a huge human-rights and public interest orientation, but most attention is focused abroad. We've decided that the 37 million or so Americans who live in poverty (and no, that doesn't count college students) deserve some attention too and maybe, if we as a country can figure out how to fix poverty here, we'll be better equipped to do something about it elsewhere.

Just a little note about my little bro's summer plans: he's going to ride his bike from DC all the way to the Pacific (somewhere in the neighborhood of Seattle probably) to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. If you're interested, go read more on his website.

Speaking of coastal cities, I'm off to lovely Gulfport, Mississippi on Saturday to spend my spring break doing Katrina relief work. We'll be spending part of the week doing construction or whatever other physical labor needs doing, and the rest of the week doing something more legally-oriented. Don't worry, I'll post pictures.

Probably.

Oh, and happy Lent everyone! Even though we Protestants are not required to forego any of our pleasures during this season, I still like to get into the spirit of the season by giving something up. No, I'm giving up getting struck by lightning or bitten by Australian death adders, I try to avoid those all year long and would not represent much of a sacrifice now would it? No. This year I've decided to forego something that actually represents a bit of a hardship, so for the duration of Lent I have vowed to give up making fun of Catholics. ;-)

Finally, it's the memo *ominous thunder* time again, but this time I'm posting at the beginning of the project instead of the end. Actually, for this FINAL project, we're not doing a memo at all. This time it's an appellate brief *horrifying screams*. And sorry Westlaw, even though you actually were easier to use this time and gave me some really cool swag, my heart still belongs to LexisNexis. It's alliterative and has two x's and you just can't compete with that.

Yaay.

So that's it, I probably won't have time to post again until after I return from spring break, but check back later this week just in case.


Ok, so I've made some good progress. Cleared the barrow downs, crossed a hedge and dike (it's like a levee you sick bastard), followed the Great East Road for a bit and finally reached Bree! Can't stop now though, pushing right on through. Total milage: 138
