More of the same.

Yesterday it rained. People in Boston are thinking, "Big deal. When doesn't it rain?" People in Los Angeles just rear end the person in front of them on the freeway. It apparently took some of my classmates upwards of 2 hours to get to class in the rain because people here just don't know what to do if it's not 80 degrees and sunny.

Regardless of the weather, it's work, work, work here in California. I am trying to get far enough ahead in my reading and whatnot to justify the weekend trip that hubby and I are going on. (It was a wedding gift and I am going to do my best to relax and enjoy it. Maybe I'll try some yoga breathing as one of my professors suggested to those who felt the class was moving too slow.)

At lunch today, I went to a panel discussion on John Roberts and what his appointment will mean for the Supreme Court. The general consensus seems to be that he stands about where Rehnquist did on most issues, so the makeup of the Court won't change drastically until O'Connor gets replaced. It also seems that no one knows quite what his views are-- probably because he refuses to tell anyone what his views are. The most conservative of the panelists said that some Republicans are actually worried that Roberts will turn out to be less conservative than they want (although there's no chance that he'll turn out to be a liberal in disguise -- or even a moderate in disguise.) Another benefit of attending the panel was that today's free lunch was not pizza-- it was tacos. An excellent choice.
