well, an uneventful plane-ride-across-the-country later, i am home again. i love arizona and am racking my brain for a way to get back there as soon as possible. no flashes of inspiration yet. in the meantime, i am partaking in 2 of my least favorite activities of all time -- unpacking and writing cover letters. my mom asked me why the pile of stuff i dropped in the living room had gotten bigger instead of smaller while i was unpacking. i told her it was like a blackhole -- it has to expand before it implodes on itself. i'm not sure if that's true, but i think i saw it in star wars once.
BUT it's not all bad being home -- mom even made sure the house was stocked with our 4 basic food groups: milk, cheese, ice cream & pizza. you can compare this with my dad's 4 food groups: meat, salt, grease & beer. he recently reminded me that neither of us look like we eat the way we do, which is a blessing for everyone involved. (but see karrie's 4 food groups: yogurt, kashi, flax butter & carrots. we don't look like we eat like her either...) im back on a running schedule. (thank you prof. abate for your unrelenting expectations.) i only ran once the entire time i was gone -- and that was to walgreen's because i needed some eyeliner. and i've decided to publish my article on legal responses to sea level rise in the environs environmental law & policy journal at UC-davis -- a 1st tier law school!
i had also forgotten how nice it is to wear a miniskirt and smell like flowers, so i'm making up for lost time while i contemplate another least favorite task -- figuring out what to do next. although, post-vacation, i am less convinced of the prudence of doing so.
