another fast week

I'm not keeping up with this as much as I thought I would. It's amazing how much free time I had in Italy to be able to blog like I did. Anyhow, this was a pretty nondescript week. I'm looking at my calendar/scheduler to go through what I did today

On Monday afternoon I went to a "Pizza, Pop, and Politics" forum about energy in the US. It's put on by NDVotes, which is the nonpartisan ND political group trying to get out the vote of ND students. Notre Dame is an amazing nonpolitical campus (one issue: abortion), but the fora that the group has been putting on for the last few weeks have been pretty well-attended, so that's good.

On Tuesday I worked in the morning, then I had some Peer advising meetings in the afternoon. I also went to a review for my exam for "On War" that I took on Wednesday. The test was easy, and all I have to do is get a D in the class as I am taking it pass/fail.

Wednesday also had some other interesting notes. I met with B. Patrick Bauer, the Speaker of the House for the state of Indiana to talk about Indiana's gambling legalization. He represents the district which has ND in it and he was really involved with the legalization process, so that's interesting. I'm not sure how exactly that interview will work into the paper, but I'll try to make it work. Finally, late that night there was a Reilly Weekend dinner for all the Reilly kids over all classes. It was sad; that's my last Reilly dinner. They talked about all the opportunities at ND, and I got kind of sad. I can't believe that in a month and a half I'll be all done. Weird.

The next day I met with the prelaw Dean. She liked my personal statement, which is great. I also got my last recommendation lined up, so that's good. That night we had a meeting entitled "What I wish I knew about law school before applying." It made me more sure that I'm doing the right thing.

Friday I worked, and Saturday was gameday. That's pretty much that. Michael Floyd scored again. He's ridiculously good.
