6 . 2 5 . 0 2 Went to the beach today, first time in a while. Funny how you live in Hawaii and hardly have time to make good of the surroundings. An irony of modern living, to pay the price of paradise, one has to succumb to the realist lifestyle of the 9-5. I think its only since I've realized that I won't be around in a couple months again that I had a need to enjoy the scenery. on a side note, of all the movies and films made of Hawaii, one of the most accurate depictions had to come from a Disney cartoon named Lilo and Stitch. Closing arguements tomorrow morning for the murder trial, been interesting seeing both the public and private aspects of a jury trial. Have to say that this year has been very informative about the makings of the Hawaii Criminal Justice System. In the midst of it all I think I'm getting a good prep for Law school when I go. Booked my flight to Madison, after realizing that the newsletter from La Follette had the dates wrong. have to call NWA and change the flight a couple days. 6 . 1 7 . 0 2 So June 2002 comes around and this online journal is over 3 years old. pretty neat actually, when it comes to reading all of the past entries. different cycles and thought patterns, anxieties and lots of random random thoughts. I think I'll work on a different format from now on, part of the version 2 I'm working on which may or may not materialize this summer or ever. Since I've graduated I haven't been spending all too much time on the computer, which has been somewhat of a positive change. Not sure how often I'll be updating this thing too. Been busy, 4-week murder trial in the court, spending more of my time volunteering as opposed to working, taking a bite on my savings. Looking forward to September when my scholarship is supposed to kick in. I wonder how much of my stipend will they be cutting me for the first semester. Judge has a new extern for the summer, been great company during the breaks and discussions, giving me insight on what to expect as a L1 at whatever law school I end up in a couple of years. Mailed in my housing contract, ended up getting placed back in the good old merit house, although I hear that the Global Village is no more. pity, it really was a great experience that I think many other students would benefit from. |
