A little detour from homework at Rinn Law Library...

Alright, alright.  I had this great plan for all these long installments of interesting stories about Mexico.  But, I just got busy, so maybe they will be sprinkled in with just regular stuff about my life.  Here are some normal updates:

I'm in five classes: Remedies, Business Organizations, International Protection of Human Rights, Evidence, and Criminal Procedure.  I like some of them.  You might be able to guess which ones.

My caffiene addiction is back in full swing, and the guilt associated with gluttonously guzzling gallons of glucose made by my friends at Coca-Cola and Starbucks is my addiction's infallible sidekick. 

My friend Ronny is visiting this weekend from Mexico, so I get to do fun touristy things tomorrow and Monday.

It's cold out, and I hate it. 

I really miss everyone that I met in Mexico.  I had some pretty enlightening experiences, and friends that indulged me to ramble on as I thought out loud.  And I miss being so far removed from my lifestyle here.  Even though I was uncomfortable a lot of the time in Mexico, I was stretching and growing.  When I got home, all of it stopped, and it was hard to adjust to being back home.  But the experience overall showed me changes I want to make in my life, solidified values and goals, and inundated my brain with questions that keep me wanting to learn.

Here's something kind of cool:  I've been looking into internships for next summer, and I found one in California dealing with indigenous women's rights.  There are some exciting prospects...thanks idealist.org!

Ok I should be studying.  I am so good at staying distracted.
