Passed my 1L classes, went to Cancun for four days (rained everyday for which I was grateful), and ordered nearly all my textbooks for next semester. Already cracked open the textbook for my Immigration class–which I plan to do Pro Bono. Travel tip: Reserve a taxi ahead of time if traveling to Mexico. Such aContinue reading “Summer so Far”

The Democrats in the Senate can try codifying it but that won’t work because they don’t have the votes. (They remind me of how I was in high school–had all school year to do a senior paper and didn’t until the Saturday before graduation.) How about this: women should stop faking it. A man’s egoContinue reading “How to Keep Roe v. Wade from being Overturned: An Unorthodox Approach”

My reason in the form of a poem: Skip our classes, raise our asses Tell our bosses, to prepare for losses Deep in the desert we gather, for three hours of glamour To their show we must go, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Let these Men take us to Heaven. Basically what IContinue reading “Won’t be in class Friday”

So this whole time Robert Pattinson was capable of putting on muscle?! He doesn’t do the deep voice thing that Christian Bale did and for that I am grateful. Real chemistry with Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman. Hot!! Great storyline. Applause all around. I was a little distracted by the sleeping drunk guy behind me andContinue reading “The Batman”

Connectivity is important but not every thought should be shared online.  I think it is essential that every town and city in the world have access to the Internet.  South Korea has the fastest and best Internet in the world.  They also have the world’s best healthcare, but you know, priorities.  Let’s compare our InternetContinue reading “Forms of Communication”

I started Spring Break the wrong way…or the right way. Two Modelos at one bar and house red wine at another. Ahh, mixing drinks. Guaranteed hangover. Now I am trying to read a textbook while listening to Outkast, with a slight headache. Big plans this week: coffee in a mug every morning (best part), reading,Continue reading “SPRING into it”

Just switching to a bigger airport (preferably a hub) can save you $$$. Look at price estimates on Hopper (app). Same dates. Different outbound location. Choosing to fly out of Chicago instead of Sioux Falls saves me $1400 for the best flight. No joke. Even flying out of Portland on the West Coast (hours away,Continue reading “Travel Tips: Fly Out from a Bigger Airport”

Busy week! Taking a long break from this brief and listening to Twisted by Keith Sweat. Determined to finish this assignment tonight. UPDATE: Tierra de Reyes is still on Hulu! They did not take it off the air last Tuesday. I don’t know why Hulu insists on playing with my heartstrings like this. But wellContinue reading “Trial Briefs, Boxers, or Bare”

I have seen the trailer a dozen times. It keeps popping up between videos on YouTube. “Never work with children or animals,” are words to live by in Hollywood. Films with animals is a billboard size warning that an actor’s career is waning. Don’t get me wrong, actors can come back from working with childrenContinue reading “DOG: Is Hollywood Done with Channing Tatum?”
