Name: Summer
Country: United States
State: Tennessee
Metro: Knoxville


Interests: Reading (Steinbeck, Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis, Sylvia Plath, Bill Bryson); kayaking and hiking and that sort of thing; extremely amateur photography; revelling in the fact that I, a 22-year-old law student, have discovered the meaning of life; etc.
Expertise: Writing lengthy, scholarly papers on subjects of which I have little or no knowledge; making sarcastic comments (i.e. "At least you didn't get sap on your car"); procrastinating (the only rule I strictly adhere to: no homework after 10--am or pm, depending on the day); remembering: phone numbers, long passages from Shakespeare, everything you say solely for the purpose of using it against you later...
Occupation: Professional law student. UT

For now we see through a glass darkly...

...but someday we will understand. Understand why I have a constant sense of unease even when things seem to be fine, understand why I can't sleep through the night anymore, understand why things can't just work out for Eddie when he really is the last person who deserves to have trouble. Someday, hopefully, all of these things will be clear.

Is it possible to use up all of your sleep? I certainly hope not.

I just finished writing a 21-page appellate brief. It has taken longer than I thought it would. A 21-page paper in college would've taken me half as long. My thesis feels like it was written in less time. I can't wait until I have my own little law clerk to do my research for me. All in due time, I suppose.

I am also trying to figure out which classes to take next year. This is a problem since every class I want to take meets at the same time.

I am sitting in the living room with the lights off. It feels like a cave in here, but I don't really mind.


Property haiku:

Seisin, nemo dat
Race-notice jurisdiction
Go enfeoff yourself.





Lately, I've gotten really nostalgic for my freshman year of college...Coldplay, Sigur Ros, and Ryan Adams' Love is Hell really remind me of fall 2003...when, in retrospect, things seemed much less complicated than they do now.

I hear Xanga is cool again...

So I will make another entry.

Even though I have not written for nearly a year.

But I don't care.

I am in law school.

I am taking Constitutional Law this summer...woohoo.

I am also going to see Radiohead and The Cure.

I am done.





Okay, so I don't have Mario Kart Wii yet, but I guarantee I will by the next time I update. Because it may or may not happen. I am only updating now because Eddie made me. He is nefarious.

See anything wrong with this?

(hint: look at "health and education" then try to find "military." this should answer pretty much all of your questions about the current state of american society.

Still waiting on Vanderbilt. Maybe they are just going to keep my $50 application fee?



A SHORT AND INCOMPLETE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE SHOT ON SITE AND WITHOUT TRIAL:

*people who take the little plastic sticker out of swimsuit bottoms and then stick it on the floor, wall, etc.

*people who drive escalades yet have a handicapped sticker. if you can climb into a tank, you are not disabled enough to be spared the extra thirty feet of walking distance.

*the art majors who designed the sculptures at etsu...you know the ones i'm talking about.

*art majors in general.

*just kidding, a few of them can live.

*whoever decided i had to take a worthless exit exam to graduate.

*middle-aged women who wear baseball caps as part of their normal attire. it's just so ugly. get a haircut instead.

*anyone who has their boyfriend/girlfriend's name written on passenger side window near the corner. you know what i mean. also, anyone who has a large heart sticker on their suv with their name and their boyfriend/girlfriend's name in it. spare us, please.

*absolutely anyone who owns and/or uses a bluetooth headset. repeat after me: i'm not that f*cking important.




if you have any other ones, please leave them. i'm sure i'll update this as i think of more.

Accepted: University of Tennessee College of Law, American University Washington College of Law







Also, I saw the Shins, met them, and bought some cool clothes from American Apparel. Upcoming shows: Explosions in the Sky, Of Montreal, the Decemberists, Arcade Fire, Ben Gibbard (solo), BONNAROO, and more... If you want to go (this means you, Donald, but also anyone else) let either me or Eddie know. It will be loads of fun.
