vacating...

carson and i have been talking about trying to take some sort of trip in the 10 days or so i have between the end of my finals and the beginning of my bar exam preparation classes. since i don't have a job lined up yet, i don't want to do something that's going to be irresponsibly expensive. nonetheless, finishing law school is an accomplishment that i think warrants a little celebratory vacation.

last night carson had a brilliant idea -- he suggested that we take a week and hike part of the pennsylvania appalachian trail! i haven't been able to stop thinking about this since. a week! outdoors! with no computers, no cell phones, no ipods, no indoor plumbing! it sounds absolutely incredibly amazing! so, we're gonna do it. this means i need to definitely step up the exercising, so that i don't pass out in a whiny heap of misery along the way, but i'm so excited!
