And so it begins, all over again

A new semester, a new computer, and a frustrating inability to find a job. This is the trifecta of a second semester law school student (well, I guess not everyone poured a full cup of water on their old computer...)

Is becoming a 1.5L better than just being a plain old 1L? I don't know. It's hard to tell, but classes do seem a lot less stressful. Being cold-called is less intimidating, you know the other kids, and even the reading seems shorter. Of course, the real work hasn't really begun yet, so check in with me in about a month.

In other news, Boston continues cold and snow-covered. I've started having dreams at night about falling asleep somewhere very sunny and warm. Recently, I watched someone with knee-high rain boots step into a sleet-filled puddle that was just a little to deep (really, we do have puddles that big in Boston.) On the other hand, my plants have started blooming. My biology PHD friend explained that they had to get cold and deal with shorter sunlight, a.k.a. being vernalized (I'm definitely not spelling that right) before they could bloom. So, I guess that's my silver lining of the Boston winter and my high note to end on.
