In Seattle last weekend, talking about traveling to Oz, this weekend a law school classmate was in town from Jerusalem. Four of us got together, and lunch at 1 p.m. turned into a five hour discussion of public policy, the democratic primaries, the reason for bank illiquidity, and Japan (one of us after law school spent six years teaching English there as a way of...

I just showed my friend here your journal, as he begins law school next year and is understandably nervous about not liking it. I wish you had similar assurances for my medical school anxieties, but time will assuage them, I'm sure. (I hope.)
Back from Seattle. I'd love to go to Oz, and we talked about it while I was there.

I mean no offense, but why is everyone so concerned with traditional political records? Presidents with decades of past experience have fucked things up just as much as the next guy.

I'm quite down. Personal loss. Trying to distract myself with enough work that I don't really think. I should probably look to get into a relationship or the like. Mental activity I do not think is the long term solution.
