Paper #1 is done. It is for a First Amendment seminar, and the topic is school officials' regulation of student expression on the Internet. Although I have done my research, I still need to work on paper #2 for my Jurisprudence class; it will be about Ronald Dworkin's interpretive method as applied to Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education. Paper #1, paper #2 and my NAALJ legal summaries will be due on Wednesday, the final day of classes.
I only have one final exam, for Wills and Trusts, on Wednesday, May 4th. Also, paper #3, dealing with federalism in the context of state laws allowing euthanasia, will be due on May 13th, at the end of the exam period. However, things will be comparatively simple after this Wednesday.
Since I've tried to stay close to home and work on papers, I haven't been doing much of interest. However, I did meet with my grandparents and sister in order to see a CSUN production of Carousel. I have a few other family-related events to attend in the next few days; I will be present at my twin cousins' 5th birthday tomorrow, and I will also watch Chrissie perform on Monday.
In other news, a fire broke out in one of the few local shopping areas. I was nearby while the fire was raging, so I did see some of the action firsthand; it was pretty shocking to approach the area and see a huge plume of smoke. I patronized some of the businesses that were damaged (the movie theater, Ben & Jerry's, and the Casa Escobar restaurant), so I found the damage. Fortunately, there weren't any injuries; the damage was limited to property.

Waxing Nostalgic
Google's map feature has made me a bit nostalgic about the places I used to frequent. This has motivated me to create a mini-tour of the Bryn Mawr area using the satellite images.
Be warned: the images are quite large.

Too Busy
Spring break was fun, although, as always, it was over too soon.
On Sunday, March 10th, a friend and I drove out to Hearst Castle and went on the tours there. Since I had never gone there, we went on the general tour first. Later, we went on a second tour, which covered the upper floors of the main building; this tour included the library and Hearst's study. Next, we drove down to Buellton, checked in at the hotel, and had dinner at the Hitching Post.
The next day, we went around to several different wineries. One winery offered a tour of the premises, and we bumped into a law school classmate (who my friend had classes with) and her family. Later, we took advantage of the picnic space at another winery, munching on some of the cheeses and meats which my friend had brought. We went back to the hotel in the afternoon. After taking a nap, we went out to dinner, had coffee, and played Trivial Pursuit.
