"Forgive me Father for I have Sinned..."
I came across this very interesting site via the NY Times today. It is PostSecret, which is a really fascinating blog. The gist of it is, this artist has asked people to mail in anonymous confessions in the form of decorative postcards, which he then posts every week on his blog. I have to say it is very interesting to see the results. They seem to range from teenage angst with suicidal thoughts, to sexual fantasies, to mid-life crises, to sagely wisdom about life. The goal is for the artist to put together a montage of all of them and publish a book. Now that is what I call art.

"All work and no play make Jack a dull boy."
Something happened...or rather didn't happen...I should be on vacation. I've completed my educational odyssey after 20 years. I should be celebrating, no more school coupled with the hardest 3 years of my life. I'm graduating from law school on Saturday, yet the only thing I can say about it is that it will be my first break in a week and a half. This is all because I've started studying for the bar. The next two months will be absolute hell, I thought nothing could be worse than 1L, but I was wrong.
The breakdown is like this, class for 4 hours and then study for 6-8 hours per day. The only breaks that I'm allowing myself to have are to eat, exercise, and sleep. If it was up to the people in charge of the program it would probably be only limited to sleep, eating would be limited to IV fluid and exercise is gotten by your eyes moving while reading, turning the page, and writing. Thus, two thing are for certain based on this:
1) My brain will be completely fried.
2) I will be in excellent shape, since exercising will be my only reprieve.
2 months of this, then I'll be free to work at a job that requires exactly the same amount of time and effort...something to look forward to...oh god...well, at least I'll get paid for that.
