There's a New Blog in Town

Last week, on the way to Quinton's, Patrick didn't even know what a blog was and when we tried to explain it to him, he said, "Oh, so they've taken something as impersonal as e-mail and made it even more impersonal?" It made me think, but not that hard.

This week, Patrick, acting as unofficial social chair for section 2, let us all know that section 1 has begun a blog for all the 1L's. So, if you are really bored and you want to go check it out, click here. Then if you are still bored, you can look in the comments section and check out some of the other blogs from other MU Law students. To be honest, I don't know who many of those people are, as they seem to be in section 1, and I am in section 2. But I was working hard enough on avoiding reading my contracts that I checked a few of them out.

I can't believe that FRD is at Bradford Woods. I think it was in the fall of 1999 that I went to Bradford Woods while I was doing my student teaching with Rise. And now FRD is there with her. I can't believe I am missing his sixth grade year. I feel so disconnected. Right now I am sitting in a big lecture hall, waiting for class to begin, again avoiding my contracts readings and he is in the woods, maybe learning how to make a shelter. And many of the rest of you are in your classrooms. If I was there, we would be walking down to the art room right now. (Does everybody really walk on the right side of the hallway now?) Some kid would say something to make me smile or take my hand. I miss spending my days with kids, and sometimes I wonder if that loss is at the heart of a lingering sadness that has been stalking me these past few weeks.
