I'm the Worst

This is my first blog entry in what feels like years. What's up, guys. I'm sorry it's been so long.

I'm still plodding along at the law school thing, with a few highlights here and there. The professor I worked for this summer paid me to play games (he's a big nerd, so it's natural that we get along, given my extensive Magic the Gathering and Warcraft pedigree), which I may have mentioned in person in Michigan, and presently I'm taking his law school course titled "International If's in the Long 19th Century." We're currently spending the vast majority of class time playing a Napoleon-themed card game about Waterloo and will soon be transitioning into playing a Civilization-esque computer game to simulate counterfactual outcomes. The takeaway lesson, I think, is that the best job in the world is to be a tenured law professor.

James--I did not get married to Sluis in Vermont, but I have been seeing a girl for a couple months now. She's basically like Sluis, except Vietnamese and 26. Her name is Carolyn, and she's the only so-named person among my facebook friends, if y'all care to stalk her.

The biggest news for me came just recently when, after about three blood-pressure-raising months of hearing nothing good, I got a job offer from a DC firm. This means I'll be in DC for this coming summer at least, and hopefully thereafter. I decided to focus only on firms in DC, which it turns out was a pretty dubious plan since I almost ended up with no job at the end of hiring season. But... all's well that ends well, as far as I'm concerned.

love,
Nathan
