Week 7 Reading and Class Reflection

This is definitely going to be my shortest blog post of the semester, because I don't really have anything to say right now. I'm in the group that's doing the 3/14 presentations, and I'd like to have those readings fresh in my mind for next week, so I'll be reading them next weekend. Could I read them now to blog about them, and then again next week to prepare for the discussion? Probably. But that doesn't seem very efficient, considering that I sometimes struggle to make it through the week's reading ONE time, never mind twice. So... I hope this doesn't sound lazy, but since my spring "break" consisted of approximately 40 hours of law library duties in D.C., punctuated by sleepless nights set to a soundtrack of world's most incompetent street musician trying to play the Sesame Street theme song on his saxophone, I'm just not in a place right now where I have time or energy to spare. That being said, even if spring break wasn't really restful or rejuvenating, it was an amazing learning experience, and I'm really glad I went. I'm just not going back to school with a whole new lease on life or anything.

And speaking of learning experiences, I also don't have anything to say about the one from last week's class, because there was so much unplowed snow that I couldn't get out of my driveway. You've got to love Michigan winters. D.C. absolutely had that going for it-- I got to wear flip flops! Outside!

So, I apologize if you were looking for some carefully considered ruminations on the book club readings or the guest speaker from last week; I promise a blog entry chock-full of reading reflections next week (although, again, none on this week's class since I won't be there tomorrow due to other academic obligations.)
