Update

Hi!

Well, I’m kind of shocked that it’s been over TWO YEARS since I updated this blog. The time has flown by for me. Also, I guarantee you my summer of frivolity and lack of responsibility was miles more interesting and worth your time reading about than the last two years which, as predicted, were spent mostly in the library.

So, what’s been going on with me? Well, the first year of law school was pretty much the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I spent my first summer working for a commercial litigation firm and it cemented my previously conceived notion that I am NOT a litigator and will never see a court room in my career. I enjoyed second year way more, especially after I ended up getting a Nintendo Wii second semester :-) This past summer I worked in the legal department of a company based in Boston that builds wind farms all over the country. That was really interesting as I’ve been fascinated by wind energy for a few years now (see Summer of Matt, post 27, para. 1 “One Day Honey, One Day Onion” proclaiming author’s adoration of wind farms). OK, no more of those, I promise! Anyway, I managed to survive the first two years of law school physically intact and, for the most part, mentally as well. I made the most of my time at Villanova but now I’m heading off to start yet another adventure – this time it’ll be ‘cross the pond! I was lucky enough to be accepted into a program where I’ll spend my third year of school studying abroad with one of Villanova’s partner schools – the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I got the chance to work in Edinburgh for two months during 2007 so I know what I’m going back to and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ll get to spend 12 months there and earn my JD from Villanova as well as an LLM of U of E. As of now there are no plans to tour the rugby stadiums in the UK but I will certainly keep you updated if that changes.

This summer though, I was fortunate enough to make it to the baseball stadiums that have opened since I completed my trip back in 2008. That means I went to Minneapolis to check out the Twins’ new outdoor (?!) stadium and also took two trips to NYC to see the dew digs of the Mets and Yankees. It may take another few weeks but I promise to get all those stadium reviews up for your viewing pleasure...as if anyone is still checking this blog, haha!
