The View From the Library

I spend at least ten hours a day at school, sometimes as many as twelve hours a day. I don't mind in the least. In fact, I love it. I spend most of my time in the library, and typically I get a lot of work done. I like the library because it has a gorgeous, largely uninterrupted, view of the Manhattan skyline.

It's a little hazy tonight. Katrina seems to be blowing in and cocking things up. If I look hard enough, though, I can still make out the outline of the Empire State Building. I'm a little bit of a twisted screw, I know, but I can't wait until winter. I'm probably romanticizing a little bit, but I've been imagining what the Manahattan skyline is going to look like through the clear winter air when the snow has just begun to fall. It's a happy fantasy.

Anyway, I can't read any more Civil Procedure tonight. There's no way in hell I can brief any more cases. I think I'm going to go home and see if there's anything on the 500 channels of cable television in which my roommate has invested. I so do not need that. Maybe I'll just do some pleasure reading.

We'll see.
