Mad About Mad Town
Last week I wrapped up my first co-op. It went by really, really quickly, and it's making me realize that being on a quarter system is going to be VERY different from being on the semester system my 1L year. All in all the co-op went really well, and I spent the last week wrapping up some memos, tying up loose ends, and passing on any open cases I was working on to my co-workers.
So I have a couple of weeks off, and I'm trying to spend as much of it relaxing as possible. Today my wife and I got a new toilet installed (yeah, exciting stuff), and tomorrow morning we head out to Madison, WI (affectionately called "Mad Town") for a week to visit my brother and his family. My wife and I are actually ice cream junkies (for those of you not from Boston, despite our cold climate, we have some of the best around), and when we get into Milwaukee and pick up our car, we're going to head straight to Leon's Frozen Custard. Midwestern style frozen custard, which I've never really seen on the east coast, is a much creamier, richer, and undoubtedly unhealthier version of our soft serve ice cream. We've had it a few times, and in this oppressive August heat, it's all I can seem to think of.
I stopped by the law school today to deal with some paperwork and pick up some things, and it made me excited to be back in class in a few short weeks. Unfortunately the heat is really preventing me from thinking right now, but I'll try to put up some thoughts before class starts for 1Ls about what to expect, and how to get through what is a very exciting, difficult, and exhilarating year.
