The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's that time a year again! Finals are only a month away and the whole law school is gearing up. You can tell I'm serious because you can actually see my desk. Also, because I have discovered a wealth of new shows on Netflix Watch Now that simply must be enjoyed immediately. On the top of my list is Michael Palin's (from Monty Python fame) BBC show "Around the World in 80 Days", where he does just that. It's fascinating watching him travel around the world in the 80's, before cell phones and iPods, before Travelocity and Expedia, and before Hong Kong was handed over to the Chinese. It's a different world and incredibly interesting through the eyes of a hilarious British man.

I am also going crazy preparing for my summer in Cambodia. Actually, I'm going crazy waiting for news of a job. None of us have heard yet, and although we know we will, it's maddening having to wait. However, I'm trying to get as prepared as possible, I'm getting immunized next week (no Typhoid Fever for me!), I've made multiple copies of all of my pertinent information, and I'm reading every travel blog entry I can find. Two Guys Around the World (recent winners of the Lonely Planet Best Travel Blog award) are in Cambodia right now so I'm hanging on to their every word trying to glean new information. It's been at least four years since I've left the country (teachers and broke law students can't afford to travel) and I can't wait to get going. Of course, having a job while there would be helpful... but either way, I just want to GO!

Unfortunately, I have to pass my finals first. There's always a catch.

In blogging news, next up I'm writing about Townhouse, one of the many hotels we stayed in on South Beach, and then I'm writing a short post about the resort in Hollywood where we wasted time until our flight home. After that, I'll be keeping you updated on my preparations and all of the sites, products, and tips that I'm constantly learning about. The posting may be a little slow around these last few critical days of class, but just think, only one more year and I'll never have to take a final again!! This should seriously increase my blog posting abilities, as well as my overall happiness and life fulfillment.

I hope your day is as lovely as mine has been!

Travel well,
