A culinary synopsis of the semester so far…
Back in the early days of law:/dev/null/ I figured each weekend I’d post some reflections on the previous week. Â It didn’t take too terribly long to realize my life just wasn’t interesting enough to do that consistently, which is why you haven’t seen one since the end of Week 3
With Week 8 about to start and most sensible 1Ls freaking out over mid-terms, I started putting together some reflections on the semester now that we’re basically at the half-way mark (8.33% of law school done, w00t!). Â But then I noticed that my diet actually is a perfect metaphor for the semester as a whole.
Brief explanatory aside: Â I’m a big breakfast person. Â Love breakfast. Â I can endure an awful lot of abuse and still be in a cheery mood as long as I have (i) a hot shower and (ii) a decent meal to start the day. Â Miss either of those two, and I’m not a fun person to be around…
My approximate breakfast contents, starting with Orientation at Week 0:
- Week 0: Â Bacon, scrambled eggs, french toast or biscuits, cup of orange juice
- Week 1: Â Bacon, scrambled eggs, french toast or biscuits, cup of orange juice
- Week 2: Â Bacon, scrambled eggs, slice of regular toast, cup of orange juice
- Week 3: Â Waffles with syrup, cup of orange juice
- Week 4: Â Waffles with syrup, cup of coffee
- Week 5: Â Bowl of cereal, cup of coffee
- Week 6+: Â Waffles (no syrup), Diet Mountain Dew, eaten in the car on the way to class…
Not a fan of how this trend has been going, but we’ll see if things improve at all after midterms  Have a good night everybody
