AWESOME.

I rule. The day before I travel to a country with known hepatitis problems, I rip a big blister on my foot. Keep in mind the fact that I detest wearing anything other than sandals. Criminy.

Anyway, it's not as bad as it looks. I doubt it's anything to worry about. It just struck me as funny that it happened the day before I left the country.

T-Minus 72 hours and counting

That's right. Three days are all that remain between a flight to Africa and me. I didn't even manage to get a slight semblance of a tan first either. I'm going to stand out worse there than I did in Peru. Make sure to check the blog every so often. I'll try to post weekly, complete with cool pictures, compliments of my mom buying me a cool new digital camera for my birthday.

Resolution: accomplished!!

As if it were planned this way, my pen failed on the very last study day of my first yar of law school. The Pike Balancing Test, and whether the burdens a state puts on interstate commerce are clearly excessive in relation to the benefits that accrue to the state as a result will hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life. Gads, what a freaking geek I've become. Somebody, give me a wedgie now.

Anyway, turns out I way overestimated how long it would last, or underestimated how much writing Con Law would involve. In either event, I believe this is the first new year's resolution I have ever followed through with, and I'm sure it's the first time I've ever used a throw away pen until it was completely out of ink without losing it. Now, if I could just make and follow through with a meaningful goal...
