On a temporary up - things to be thankful for.

I'm suffering from a "crisis of being" - a great quote from Swank [as BK refers to our Legal Writing TAs - I don't quite understand which one he's talking about, but I'll keep it.] I guess that means the ups and downs are normal. Figured that I'd take the opportunity of Thanksgiving coming up to make my list of things that I'm thankful for :-)

• Fall - the weather has been great, not too cold, a little rainy - but for almost Thanksgiving its AWESOME! I remember the bitter November cold and I'm glad that its not really here yet. The Oakland area is actually very picturesque - and the walk home is lined with trees that are just bursting with those beautiful fall colors. Subha'anAllah!
• UBER Cool upper-class law students - I've been lucky enough to have found some REALLY great 2Ls and 3Ls that have miraculously appeared at my side whenever I've felt like collapsing. I sometimes feel like I'm constantly complaining - but they're so patient with me that I'm only encouraged to do it more! I promise, I'll stop soon - once I get a handle on this. Whenever that is. Btw, this also includes cool 2Ls from other schools like Lang and amnarani :0)
• FANTASTIC TAs - they get their own bullet because they are literally saving my life, I mean my memo, wait - I was right the first time - they're saving my life.
• Thankful that I'm not suffering under the 80 volume Factual Information Submission at 1700. Wu, my sympathies are with you.
• Comic relief - for the most part my section is fantabulous about keeping things light, and in spite of the absolutely magnanamous stress ball that we're under - we always find a way to laugh at least once EVERY class. It's great.
• Animal crackers - although I'm getting sick of them
• The MONSTER bar of Toblerone sitting next to my computer.
• THANKSGIVING IS ONLY A WEEK AWAY! WOOOOOOOOO!!!
• BOB
• My oh-so-comfortable-but-oh-so-ragged-15-year-old-Levi's-T-shirt that is SO COMFORTABLE

There are many more things that I'm thankful for, but I need to get back to work.
