Back in DC now after a short trip home, I think I covered a lot of ground while I was there. Mitsu-ken, Helen’s, The Spot, Joyce N Masa’s, Lanikai, Ala Moana, Waiks, Aloha Tower, GB, Hanaki, Pagoda, and of course, what trip home would be complete without hitting Manoa Longs and Marukai. Got to hang out with my folks, and a few friends that I could get a hold of. Mostly being mellow and chill for the few days I had off. Now its back to the grind of things in shark city, I wonder what kine stuffs I missed out on.
On the way back I ran into some more delays on Northwest, mechanical failures that left the plane on the tarmac without air conditioning for almost an hour. My flight back to DC was about 2 hours delayed, I had to rush to my orientation that was moved up a day after I booked my flight home. Pretty much been running on empty now, and I’m actually still on Hawaii time so I can’t really go sleep just yet, maybe in a bit.
Have to say that I’m pumped for this semester, I think Law school has its level of intensity and hype, they really try to scare you into the rigors and the competitive nature of the program. I’m definitely taking it seriously, although part of me is more concerned with trying to find time in my schedule to go work out, or cook some okra and rafute during the week, or catching a movie or chilling out with a non-law related book or something. I’ve been preparing both mentally, and physically for the change of pace and I think I’m ready for it.
Have to admit that writing the check out for the first semester was pretty painful. I guess the high price of education just comes with the territory. Especially with the profession.
Interesting Craig’s list post on being brown and riding the DC Metro. There was a article I read recently about some chatter towards another attack or something. I really hope its nothing.
