Fall Break

I've been super lazy about posting lately. However, my excuse is that I don't have much to write about. I'm sure that none of you want to hear about how I spent all day sitting around the library reading for torts or contracts or crim law. I'm sure you also don't want to hear about my week-long memo writing battle. It just doesn't make for interesting topics. It's certainly a hell of a lot less interesting than taking the beast out on a hack, having a fantastic jump lesson, or having to wrestle a wild Taz into the barn from the far paddock. Anyway, I'm on fall break right now. This sounds like it would be a nice, relaxing time where I could lounge around all day not worrying about law school. Unfortunately, that's not the case. It's certainly more relaxing than being in class, but I'm using the time to read and start outlining a bit, so it's not exactly a break. HOWEVER, I have decided to cut myself a little slack, and I plan on going to the movies today after I read for civ pro. I haven't just cut out and gone to the movies since I got down here, and I really want to see that new Joseph Gordon-Leavitt film. So, that's my [super boring] fall break. I went a little wild yesterday and read crim law in market square. The weather is finally not quite so oppressively hot, and I decided I should enjoy it...

not a bad place to study...

This isn't market square... it's at World's fair park, which I pass on my way back to my apartment.

Knoxville Life

The Vols may have gone down in the Swamp yesterday, but I'm still proud to be a Tennessee Vol!



The fountain/pond in front of the stage at World's Fair Park



To the best of my knowledge, that is also part of World's Fair Park. I could be wrong, but it's a pretty little area nonetheless.


Under the bridge at World's Fair Park, there are mosaics from a few different "National Cancer Survivor Days".

Penguins and Polar Bears

If horses were my heroin, then I suppose that law school is acting as my methadone... the shittier alternative to an addictive substance and the thing quelling my withdrawal symptoms.
I'm busy enough at the moment that I don't REALLY have time to freak out about not being around horses 24/7, but I will admit that I've been checking Eventing Nation a lot more frequently than usual... It makes me feel connected in an abstract way.

Knoxville has been a joy, though! It's a small city, but it's absolutely jam-packed with fun things to do. Here are a few photos from "around town" taken both since I've been here and on my 1st visit down here in March.





I know, I know... they don't give you much of a sense of the city, but what can I say? I don't pick great things to take photos of, I guess!

The Big Move!

I am officially moved in to my new apartment in Knoxville! I can't even tell you how much I'm missing miss Dee already, though! At least I know she's in good hands... that makes it a bit better.
I also forgot to post the picture I snapped of Dee right before she took her trip to her new home...

Baby looks bored with all this travel nonsense...
