divine angst

Day 0

Our little vacation started with a late flight out of Our City to Orlando. The flights were fine—no delays, except a minor one in Dallas when our connecting flight’s crew was late getting in from Indianapolis. Oh, and they kept moving our gate. When we got off the plane, we headed to C2 to discover we’d been moved to C7. So we went back towards C7 and had a beer. Then we noticed nothing was going on at the gate, looked at the monitors, and found we’d been moved again, to C3. At least they were all at the same end of the terminal.

One late (1:15 am) arrival into Orlando and one shuttle ride to the hotel later, we were sleeping—on a foam bed. I think it was, in fact, memory foam. Mr. Angst suggested that we get a glass of wine and jump on the bed for a little while, just like in the commercial! But it was 2 am by then, so we decided to sleep instead.

In State Law School sent me a terse, but not unkind, email today noting that my application for admission had been withdrawn. I didn’t send them any money, so they cancelled my admission.

Good. I worried that, not having sent any actual documentation, they might continue to send me reminders or something. But ISLS apparently considers a sin of omission as serious as a sin of commission. I’m out, and that’s one less school to worry about.

This is awesome.

Perfect for a dorm room or maybe the gameroom in your parents’ house. Rock on.

Still working on the cruise post. Sorry—we had a late dinner last night with my stepfather, in town for a meeting.

So here are a few good posts I’ve seen today that can hold you over until then:

1. Lasts and first lasts are poignant, yes? I’ve been having a few of those lately, here on the cusp of leaving the “real world”. So has Ambimb as he finishes up 2L.
2. Is the new pope anti-modern, or just a traditionalist who isn’t embracing modernity for modernity’s sake? Carey Cuprisin weighs in.
3. Tom Delay is a moron. Just ask Law Dork and RawLaw.
4. Big head? Hard time buying hats? Natalyia gives hope to big heads everywhere.
