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...

Woohooo!!! Such resolve...such endurance...such nerdiness. I weep at the thought. But congrats anyway on keeping your goal. It was, uh, inspiring.
You ask for wedgie, I can deliver.
I have thought of you several times this year (about 3) as I have disposed of each of my depleted Uniball Vision Elite pens.
Totally different. You can blow through those things in no time. And quit trying to cheapen my victory.
