I can't believe I've already been working for 3 weeks. Where is this spring/summer going? Of course it doesn't seem like spring/summer since it rains nearly every day! I still haven't received my grades, and am living in abject fear as a result. But hey, I'm working and I'm getting paid. Can't see where this is a bad thing. I'm also getting to catch up on all my reading, so this is also good. Just read Pinstripes and Pearls by Judith Hope, and Broken Contract by Robert Kahlenberg. They're both about Harvard Law, to try to understand how the other half lives. Pinstripes was a great eye opening book about women in the law, but I found Broken Contract to be sort of churlish. Kahlenberg had gone to Harvard as an undergrad, so I see him having gone into law school somewhat aware of what he faced. He should have just gone to the Kennedy School instead of whining about his 3 years that gave him opportunities to interact with some of the best legal scholars in the country. I really had a hard time "feeling his pain." Thoughts? Any reading suggestions?
