coming back home

I am finally ready to post here again. Perhaps because of my mediocre performance on my exams I was shamed to silence. Break wasn't long enough. My new classes are boring. Well, no more excuses. Today is a new day and a new chapter in American history. I never thought that I would be so young when seeing the first Black President. I'm not sure that I ever thought that it would happen. It has been a great morning. BitterNY and I decided that I was too pregnent to make the trip, so we cashed in our plane tickets and watched it together this morning in HD. I think that was a really good call -- my stomach has been persnickety for a few days now so fighting 299 people for the bathrooms would have been awful.

But now the parade is winding down and I have to go to school and do my reading and hopefully Barak is getting on top of rolling back some of the more assinine, last-minute, havoc- wrecking, pro-business, anti- people who need clean water regulations that Bush pushed through at the very end of his term.

I'm tired and pretty down about the whole law school way of doing things. Im glad that I am here, but really missing my regular paycheck and the joy of being competent at what I do. I miss New York and my friends. But you just can't beat 72 degrees on January 20th.

Keep your chin up, my friend. I think everyone is in a January funk right now; you're definitely not the only one! New semester, new President, almost like a new country! And remember--no matter what happens, every one of us at school will be just fine. First semester grades never make or break anyone.

So, join me in wishing a not-at-all fond farewell to Guantanamo Bay and to the CIA's license to torture! For the first time in 7 years, we live in a country without legalized torture!
