Dominos!

I amwatching TV right now, and ESPN just had an hour of the world championship of dominos. I have never seen so much judging and complaining and bitching over a game of dominoes than I saw in the semifinals. It was really funny to watch and I recommend it if you need a laugh. It came on after soccer if you are curious :-)

Had one last (hopefully) moment of doubt before the wedding brought on by Kelley wanting a different ring. We worked out our problems, so no big deal there and we are full speed ahead again one day later. But we are upgrading the ring, and my bank account screams. Thank God people give us money for getting married, since we need to replenish our safety money at least a little before the end of the year. But trading in the old ring set for the gorgeous new one helped a lot and it is affordable.

Law school grades should be done this week, and we got one mroe today. Now law school grades have been a roller coaster ride so far and I have no idea where it will go next. All of my first semester grades were between 93 and 90...above average and very consistent. I got my highest ever law school grade in Legislation (by a small bit), then dropped my Contracts 5 points to a low B (must have really bombed the final), then today got the second highest grade in Property. What makes it all the more sweet is that property is the closest first year field of study to my desired career (intellectual property) and this class was taught by the infamous Shipman, who I am working for this summer. I really wanted to blast this one out of the park and I did, and I'm probably now getting an amazing recommendation letter from my high-profile (in the world of law) boss. Makes my day. so Constitutional Law which I have no idea about and Legal Writing which I think I have a middle range A in...come on down and join the roller coaster ride.

And then we can stop talking about law school grades till at least August, when employers start demanding them.

Was up $50 in poker yesterday too, 20 on the cash tables and won 38 in a 1 dollar buy in tournament (4th place out of 388 players, best ever finish for me online). Of course details are over on my poker blog.
