The Way of the Buffalo... er, Bison.

Well, yesterday I was really excited because I saw a few droplets of rain. I have been waiting for what seems like forever to see just a few drops of that magical liquid sunshine, if not for a reminder of home, just to rinse down the LA grime a little. Today, I had my fingers crossed that we'd get some more rain, like an actual little storm but no such luck. In fact, the opposite. It has got to be one of the hottest days since I moved here. It is 9:00 PM and has not cooled down in any noticeable fashion. I reversed my fan to blow downwards, so that helps a little.

Today we have no school. While other law schools might be Jesuit (like Seattle University) or vaguely non-affiliated (Public Schools), we are apparently Jewish. Not officially, but we are one of the few schools that I know of from speaking with my law school friends around the country that gets the day off for Rosh Hashanah, and other kosher friendly holidays. So that's cool. I spent the day trying to get ahead in school, cleaning, sleep and life in general.

Last week I found out that Southwestern has a mascot: the Bison! I had no idea. We don't have any sports teams, so I assumed we didn't have one. GO BISON!
