Fall weekend rambling

I'm off to Toronto today for a much-needed girls' weekend. I love Toronto in the fall, and I'm hoping the rain holds off so we can do lots of wandering.

I'm gradually settling into a school routine that's allowing me to get my work done while still getting a bit of time to myself. I had a good talk about study methods with my constitutional law prof, and we looked at ways I can get around using my hands too much. As for school itself, I really, really like what I'm learning. I'm finding legal history and philosophy especially fascinating, and I'm excited to get into the upper years where I'll be able to choose courses like Literature and the Law, Roman Law and Canadian Legal History.

I'm still swollen, but not any worse and maybe even a bit better. I've also had another lung infection that's left me feeling a bit wiped out, but this time I started using my inhaler right away and it seems to be clearing up. It was nevertheless a wake-up call - now that I'm spending 8 hours a day cooped up with two hundred other students and professors, I'll need to be careful about catching things.

For now, though: nap, some work, and then to Toronto. Happy weekend, everyone.

What a pretty picture.

It's great to hear that your prof had some tips to make things easier for you. I hope you have a terrific get-away this weekend.

I enjoyed the rambling and I am glad to hear good things are happening at school. Enjoy your weekend away! Maybe there will be pictures? Or maybe it will be a weekend with the thought that "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? Either way, enjoy!

It's true - you should be super careful about catching things. In my experience, law students are (1) more stressed out than the average bear and thus more likely to get sick but (2) less likely to stay home. So when your classmates get sick, they'll just cough on you in con law. Be careful!!
