Spring Break is almost here.

After a four-month hiatus, I am back. I make no representations as to how often I will write going forward; several such previous assertions have proven laughable. However, I have some time to kill before class in an hour and a half, so I thought I'd get after it again.

With only twenty-four hours until I leave for the airport, I am finding it increasingly difficult to focus on the work at hand. I suspect class this afternoon will be fine. But after spending this evening getting my hair cut, watching my two Wednesday night shows, Damages and Real World, and then packing, I worry that tomorrow my mind will already be in Houston/Austin, my two destinations. While Bethel's dry-witted curmudgeonhood (yes, I just coined that noun form) will likely keep me engaged in Evidence in the morning, the one hour of my afternoon seminar I will be attending might be a different story. Wish me luck.

But enough of the boring stuff; I should describe my trip. Along with my good friends Meg, Aditi, and Pete, I will first be spending the night in Houston at my parents' new house before heading to Austin Friday morning. True to form, I have drafted a list of activities for this Austin adventure that promise to make it an entertaining weekend. While it may not compare to the Great Guys NYC Weekend last July (Peter Luger's, Dark Knight in Imax, drinks atop the Gansevoort, general debauchery), I am certain we will have a blast (contrary to Pete Gundy's questioning of my confidence in the activities I have chosen). Mozart's on the lake, one night on Sixth proper and another night on Fourth/Fifth/West Sixth, dining at Homeslice, and of course a visit the old Hilltopper stomping grounds are all on tap. Expect a post next week discussing what we actually did, and a juxtaposition of the trip vis-a-vis GGNYCW.

That's all for now. I must go forth and learn about the post-filing period in Securities Reg. Cheers.
