Although my final Appellate Advocacy brief was due today, I have spent the last two weeks working on it every spare moment and handed it in on Friday so I could enjoy the weekend. It was such a relief to hand it in; the last two months working on it felt much longer. I gave [...]
This entry is going to be a list of sorts.
1. I went to the VLS Takings Conference on Friday, and was thoroughly impressed. As any good event should do, it explained a lot to me and left me with a lot to think about. For one, how do we assess water regulations in light of [...]
And just like that October is over, as is any semblance of sunlight past 5pm. Though I was pleasantly surprised to find I had an extra hour to sleep in this morning. October ended with VLS’s annual Oktoberfest which I found met and fell below my expectations though partially through my own lack of consistent [...]
The last few weeks have brought beautiful changes in this area. As a Californian, I have never seen the leaves change colors. I took a trip to Boston a few weeks back for a Red Sox game, and the drive was amazing. The colors of the leaves are vibrant yellows, oranges, reds, and greens! The [...]

Finally! The last two weeks have been so so so SO busy, and I finally feel like I’m caught up, both academically and personally.
And just in time too!
Oktoberfest is here! Obviously, as this is my first year in law school, and necessarily my first year at Vermont Law, I have no idea what to expect [...]
They offered two drinks at the Students for Reproductive Justice event tonight. That was just enough to put me in the mood to not do my reading for tomorrow. I called it a night early, left chase, and went back to my apartment, which is now broken in, to a chaotic degree.
