Merry Christmas

I'm packing to go to Puerto Rico. The flight leaves in 7 hours. I leave my apartment in 5 hours.

The trip was quite impulsive. Last week, in the depth of finals hell, I wished that I was somewhere sunnier, warmer, with long stretches of beaches upon which I could sit and get tan and do nothing other than read novels that have nothing to do with law. In the midst of all the fantasizing, I looked at Jetblue's website, and saw an amazing fare for a direct flight from B-Town to San Juan. And uncharacteristically, I just decided to go ahead and get the ticket, thinking that if I changed my mind, I could always just not go and get credits for my next flight (and Jetblue being my favorite airline I was sure there would be a next flight).

And now I'm really going! I got a Lets Go guide to Puerto Rico today, and a memoir by Esmeralda Santiago ("When I was Puerto Rican" - love that title) that I plan to read there. I'm bringing a bunch of non-law-related novels, in fact. I am so looking forward to reading on the beach!

Just checked the weather, and San Juan is, at the moment, 75 degrees. :D:D:D

Well, so here's where _I_'ll be spending my next few days. Whereever YOU are, dear readers, merry Christmas and happy holidays to you!
