Hmmm... Law School

Well as promised I am not very good at posting, but I have recently been inspired by one of my law school friends (more on this later) who is a blogging queen. I seems like a good way to do an accounting of what's going on in life. So here it goes...
I have officially been a law student for exactly a month, and so far it has been wonderful! I love law school. As weird and counterintuitive as that sounds. I think it is one of the most interesting things I have ever done. Classes are great and stimulating, and the homework really isn't that overwhelming. Being able to just think about cases and the logic that was used is really interesting. But the best part about law school has definitely been the people.
The very first day I came into class I consciously looked around and thought to myself, "I wonder which of these people are going to become my best friends in law school and my best friends for the rest of my life." I think I have already met some of those people and I hope to meet more over the next three years. I pretty quickly got into a study group and have really enjoyed the people that I am with. I can't wait to see where my classmates are going to end up when we graduate. We have a lot of very smart people in the class. I think law school is going to be a blast!

My First Blog Post Ever

I am normally pretty quick to jump on the band wagon when it comes to new technology and new ways of communication but for some reason the blogosphere never appealed to me. I have had friends tell me to get a blog and I have been entertained as I read other's blogs but it just seemed to me to be one more distraction to go along with Facebook, GChat, and text messages. A distraction that I most definitely don't need.
But since I am on here now posting this first blog post you may ask, "what made you cave?"
Without sounding too dramatic or too self important the thing that pushed me over was the protests that are happening in Iran. Twitter and blogging have become the lifeline of that revolution. Whether the protests in Iran lead to lasting change or not the fact remains that the digital age beat the censorship. A regime as oppressive and cruel as the theocracy in Iran could not quiet the roar of blog posts and twitter updates.
I do not see myself or this blog ever becoming a beacon of freedom or a tool of revolution but I do hope it gives me a voice in the world and a place share some of my ideas.
So without further ado this is my first blog post on my first blog.
