It's been a few weeks since we last posted and that's no coincidence - it's April. On my side of things, April is a month of Moot Court team-selection (which eats up about a week) and then the end of classes and preparation for finals (which eats up all other time). On Hanneke's, it is a month of Ph.D. and seminar prep, and some taking over of household things that I no longer have any time to do (you might suspect I'm exaggerating here, but I'm not).
This semester looks like it will end busily but smoothly. I have 3 finals this semester and 2 paper courses. I've written one already on the CSI Effect (for Law and Psychology) and the other is a commercial speech topic (basically the First Amendment for corporations). I enjoyed writing both but the CSI Effect might be a little bit more pop-law than I am into and the commercial speech topic I'm not really writing to publish. Then again, my last article was on Google and quoted Ghostbusters, so maybe I'm a closet pop-law guy after all.
May will be a busy month and I suspect it will be a month of transitions. I'll start at the Court in May, stop being a student, move to a new apartment, and begin writing articles of my own volition (instead of for classes or a job). Things will go much as usual for Hanneke for at least a little while longer. But, we will now have a yard to tend to.
It should be an interesting year.
