Bella going for a walk in the snow covered roads of D.C.
It finally winter here in D.C. and the snow is still on the ground from Sunday night's 1-2 inches of snow. It was very pretty out.
I've gotten all but one of my grades from law school, and when complete, I'll post a summary (maybe). If you know me, you probably already know that I've done pretty well.
One change this semester: I've had two of my casebooks bound by section to allow me to carry less tonnage in my pack. My criminal procedure book was 1600 pages and now is in 300-600 page sections which are, clearly, around one third of the weight of the book as a whole. Turns out that the binding alone is 6 ounces or so. My torts casebook before binding was 5 pounds 2 ounces. Now, each section is a little over one pound, or two pounds max for the largest section. So, for a day that I have either of those classes, or any day I'm reading those subjects, I have at least three to four pounds less to carry. Imaging carrying your books for a semester then finding that not only can you put down the equivalent weight of one half-gallon of milk, but also reading gets easier with a spiral binding that can be folded back on itself, suitable for "easy-chair" reading instead of "table-only" reading. Nice. :)
