It has officially been two weeks since I started law school…okay well, I guess I’m two days early since we started on Tuesday, September 8th.

Documentation
When I think back to my original intention for starting this blog, I can boil the reasons down to two:

Monumental Weekend:
Of course, in the larger scheme of things, the events of this weekend really were not that big of a deal. In 10 years, I won’t remember exactly how I felt the past few days, but just in case WordPress is still around…
Saturday I took the LSAT.
Sunday I ran 10 miles. And still made it [...]
