So I finally bought a PS3 with the money I made from TA-ing. It is a very shiny and pretty machine, and I have already gotten through FFXIII and Prince of Persia, and am currently making my way through Star Ocean: The Last Hope. I am debating whether I want to keep the machine up at school or take it back after summer... I haven't quite decided yet. I think it depends on how much self-control I expect to have.

The summer has been going well. This last weekend was especially awesome. I went to the Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds concert at the San Francisco Symphony, and needless to say it was amazing. Except they tried to make us the Latin chorus in One-Winged Angel. That did not turn out so well, although at least they gave us the words so that we could all chant. Cult, what cult? I also saw Wicked for the second time, and it too was wonderful. The Elphaba and Glinda were simply incredible, with the Glinda being a significant improvement from the last time I watched it.

Otherwise, it has been the usual. I am working at the Coastal Commission this summer, and have also been doing research assistant work for one of my professors. I have been juggling both those with clerkship applications, which hopefully will be done soon. I am still trying to figure out if the RA work will go into the fall semester... right now I am TA-ing again for the 1-L skills class in the fall (I haven't decided yet if I want to do that in the spring as well). I've also gotten a new board position on the journal that involves a lot of reading, although I was at least smart enough to edit an article over the summer rather than during the semester... fun times, fun times.

Still, the final year of law school (and likely my education in general) is fast approaching. Even though it's still 9-10 months away, I just know I am going to be bawling throughout my law school graduation. This has been an experience that I cannot regret, despite the stress it has caused. Hopefully though... since this is my DeviantArt account and I should probably talk about something more relevant instead of waxing nostalgia... hopefully I will be able to tackle something drawing-wise soon. I sorta have the drawing itch but I'm not sure what I would want to draw, and most of the ones I have tried doing in recent months have not been that good, in my opinion. But as usual, I hope to do something sooner than later... and hopefully this time it won't take a year!
