So far I’ve been accepted to four law schools, and each of my acceptance letters has been different. The most recent stands out far above the rest for something very minor - the dean’s handwritten note at the bottom. All correspondence I receive from schools seems to be signed by a dean or [...]
“Come on!” a voice hollered from the doorway. “It’s dark outside, and it’s not safe to keep riding. That bike will still be there in the morning. Come inside!”
“Once more down the street, Mom. I’ll be right back!”
“Junior, get inside right now…” But he was already halfway down the street, [...]
Very few things seem to change with the advent of a new year. Thursday wasn’t all that much different from Wednesday.

While I think there are certainly some changes to the environment that are due to man’s existence, climate change has been shown to be cyclical. If you look at 100 years, average temperature in [...]
I spent the last hour emailing, texting, and otherwise messaging old and current students of mine. I tutored them, preparing them to take various tests, whether the LSAT and GMAT, or Algebra 2 and pre-calculus finals. In most cases, I checked in to see how their tests went and what future preparation help [...]
Today President-elect Obama announced Arne Duncan as his nominee for U.S. education secretary. Duncan is currently the chief executive for Chicago Public Schools, but he will now move to a national position.
