damn thief

No sign of my lotions at the lost and found. Row says to give them up for gone. I just have difficulty letting go of these things, I guess.

Row came along to Crim today and had a fantastic time (at least I'm pretty sure she wasn't kidding when she said so). She didn't bother with Civ Pro, though, which was probably wise. She's also had a ball discovering all of the things one can eat in California that are unavailable, or at least exceedingly difficult to find, in Australia, including burritos, banh mi, pupusas, and -- [at this point I realize I can't move to Australia until they figure this one out] -- pomegranates. The two of us came home from The City today and tucked into a pair of pomegranates with all the fervor and delight of kids licking the bowl after Mom made cookies.

It is slowly dawning on me: I have five days without classes. All the time I haven't had to outline up until now, I suddenly have. I can do this. I can knuckle down in the next few days, polish off Torts, accomplish something similar in Civ Pro and Crim, and -- thanks be to Gilberts -- actually pull together a sensible enough Contracts outline to be able to move on to the issue spotting phase without the inevitable panic that follows from hitting a clear issue and blanking on the rule.

I love vacation. I wouldn't have thought that I'd look forward to it as an opportunity to work, but ahhh, what a relief to finally have a chance to just get done what I need to do without having to fight through the cluttered mess of my routine school schedule!
