it ain't over yet, kids

The law review writing competition packet is a paltry 49 pages, which still didn't stop Kinko's from attempting to charge me $26.70 to print it. Keeping in mind that I'm doing this solely as a lark, I turned around and went back home: anything over $20 for anything except postage is too much of an investment at this point. Fortunately, my husband has offered to churn me out a copy on one of the high-speed laser printers in his office. It's a bench memo for a criminal case with evidence issues, which if nothing else should at least be good practice for the work I'll be doing later this summer.

My flight to Florida leaves at 2 pm today. I should have ample time to read these 49 pages and get started on my first draft, provided that I actually stick myself to doing it. I'm getting so comfortable being on vacation; this almost feels like poking an old bruise compared to the relief of doing nothing law-related at all. But as everyone and their brother keeps telling me, this is important, and everyone and their brother can't be wrong, n'est-ce pas?
