Books and Friends
June 17, 2009
The life after college isn’t always the glamorous life of laying out by the pool all day (although I have been to the pool quite a bit). I just had a big set back of having to get my car fixed, which set me back almost $1000! So, that really stinks, on a lot of levels.
But on another note. I have been getting a lot of reading done, since I haven’t started working yet..I’m still in the paperwork process :-/ But, you know those books that you always meant to read and never did? Or the books you were supposed to read for class and you never did? It’s ok we’ve all done it, without SparkNotes I don’t think I would have gotten this far in life.
Another good thing about being done is that I have been able to see some of my friends that I haven’t seen in a while. Everyone has been really busy over the last couple of years and with people not always coming back home during breaks it’s easy to lose touch with people sometimes. So, getting in touch with my old friends has been great!

I definitely agree on both aspects. Reading for “pleasure” was a foreign concept for most of my college career – I almost don’t know how to do it! Have you read anything interesting?
Well I haven’t completed The Iliad yet from Char’s class, but I have started reading a book that was recommended by one of my professors, Courage of their Convictions by Peter Irons. It’s about people who brought their case to the Supreme Court and changed history as we know it. An example of the case law in the book is saluting the flag, and of course the Tinker case about wearing armbands, and so on. So far it’s a really interesting book if you’re interested in law, and me being pretty much a pre-law undergrad, it is a good read.
