Kindred Spirit

I have befriended a new person who shares the same love and affection for California that I do. Well, she's not exactly new, but our friendship and commonalities are becoming more apparent. Plus, I've made her my minion.

It's very easy to get swept up in the non-reality of it all, so having the grounding of a kindred spirit is the best way to survive the remaining weeks and months.

I do still always think back upon Anne of Green Gables when I think of kindred spirits. I hope all of mine remain as strong as Anne & Diana.

Defining Relevance

Federal Rule of Evidence 401

The Evidence book this semester is going to keep me hopping...and thinking (who goes to law school to do that? *g*). I think there are more pages of problems than actually explanatory text. I know in the long run it will be better for me - much like vegetables & exercise - but right now, it reminds me of the Spanish workbooks in high school and undergrad. And it tries to be all cute using character names from movies and television. It doesn't make thinking about the problems any more enjoyable.

Thank goodness I admire the professor so.
