- I went to a yoga class at the gym last night, after going to City Sports and getting a mint green mat and cute yoga pants. :) Yes having cute gym gear definitely motivates me. :) Anyway the class was great. I don't buy all the "may you find enlightenment" stuff, but the meditation was nice, and the differnet poses were straining but definitely felt like they were stretching my muscles. I like it so far and will probably go back.
- I love my clean, neat, unclutterd apartment now, and spend much more time at home reading. For the first time in months my desk is now useable.
- I joined Netflix two days ago, and have already built a queue of 132 movies, and rated 258 movies. I'm on the 2 DVDs at a time, unlimited monthly DVDs version. I got my first two movies today: Supersize Me, and Nowhere in Africa. I put a lot of documentaries and classics on my list, because that's what I feel like these days. I think it might be fun to systematically watch all Humprey Bogart movies, for instance, or Gregory Peck, or Cary Grant.
- I suddenly really want to go to the MIddle East this summer and work for a few weeks (after I finish my summer associateship at the NY firm). Exactly in what, I'm not sure yet, but I'm sure somewhere in Tel Aviv or the West Bank or Cairo they would need a law student's (free) services, no? Of course, my parents will probably freak out, and it will depend on what the political situation is. But it's just a thought. I miss Israel.
- I had cajun shrimp tonight. It was yummy.
- I am enjoying my family law class. The reading is super light, the prof nice and incisive, and the topics extremely provocative and relevant. Today we talked abotu same-sex marriage, and surprisingly I heard some arguments that I haven't heard before. Tomorrow we will talk about whether the prohibition on incest is rational. On Thursday, we go over the same questions with polygamy. The only problem with the class is that, after two room changes, the room we ended up with is way too small for 18 people. Today the dean walked by, came in, and said: "this room looks way too small for you." Mmm-hmmm.
- I am contemplating getting a bread machine. Just spent 25 minutes reading customer reviews of all the different kinds of Amazon. Ironic, since I rarely eat bread these days, but the idea of having one in my kitchen just appeals to me. And perhaps once I can make whole grain bread I would eat bread much more often, and I looooove the smell of bread in my apartment. I'm very tempted.

I am a 2L at a top law school in the Northeast. This is my online diary of my journey through law school.

Hello! I'm a 1L at your northeastern law school (we've even had the same civ pro prof d) and have been reading your blog kind of religiously as a sort of light at the end of the tunnel in my bleaker moments. (don't worry, the bleak moments are largely outweighed by the serendipitous moments). anyway I hope that doesn't make you feel weird or do anything to make you censor your writing, really, I have enjoyed reading about your experiences so much. Thanks for your insight into the world!
Anyway, the real reason for the comment: don't go for the breadmaker! I swear breadmaker bread is enough to put you off bread altogether. Maybe there are better ones than those I've tried, but I think it will be disappointing. If you're really into bread with no kneading, try the nytimes recipe (I'm sure you've probably already heard of it, and a little googling has resulted in a near unanimous thumbs up for the method from the breadmaking world.) http://www.lindystoast.com/2006/11/minimalists_sul.html
