SOOOO Close

I'm getting so close to that magical day when I don't have to ask if its alright to buy alcohol. This country is fucked up and backwards, but ehh its the system I live in. As much as I learned about the legislative process this summer in DC, I now understand how difficult it is to effect real change on this country.

The calls have started to flood into my mailbox at work about the letter I sent out. I know I'm breaking a few hearts, and I feel so horrible about abandoning my kids. However, I'd feel even worse in 6-8 months when I found out how difficult law school is going to be.

Lately I've been doing a lot of late nights to get papers done and what not. However, when I stay up late I tend to get introspective, even while writing about European integration or Hannah Arendt and Eric Fromm. I've noticed that everything here at Minnesota has become an uphill battle for me. From my job, love life, classes, friendship, and even the fraternity. I don't know what it is about this place, but it appears to have had that effect on my life.
