So the advent of March has made me aware of just how lazy a blogger I've become. The hiatus has also made me decide to revamp the blog a little bit - after all, mikeandlashel.blogspot.com should really be about more than LaShel complaining about her homework once every several weeks. So stay tuned for new content and, if I can talk my techie brother into donating an extreme blog makeover, a snazzy new layout as well.
But first, before bringing in the new, we'll wrap up the old. It always makes me sad when I'm reading a random person's blog and they describe a conundrum or an exciting upcoming event, and then never mention it again. So I'll comb through later entries looking for hints on whether their dog ever came back or they got the big promotion at work, but to no avail. My own life is not nearly that exciting, but here are some random updates just in case there's a stranger out there wondering:
I did end up dropping a class - the one taught by the "greatest living legal philosopher" which turned out to be a fortunate choice because he retired a few weeks before the semester started because of health problems and the class wasn't offered after all.
My summer to-do list was semi-successful. I did the write-on and ended up on the Journal of Law, Ethics, and Public Policy, we enjoyed the swimming pool at our complex twice before moving to our new, deluxe apartment, and we traveled everywhere on our list except Washington DC. The writing a novel, watching movies in French, and getting ahead on coursework decidedly didn't, but it was a great summer nonetheless.
The British Museum collection was amazing... Victoria is a beautiful city. In fact, I was so enamored that it was disappointing to find out my legal education is not transferable to Canada.
The Venus Fly Trap, as predicted, died a hasty and inglorious death. I'm pleased to announce, however, that our marriage somehow managed to survive.
Luckily, the IRS, after months of investigation and endless letters, concluded that Mike and I were truly poor enough to not owe them any money. Yay!
Long story short, the special meeting called by the journal wasn't about my lack of morale, but because the elected leader of our journal was suddenly no longer a student at the law school. Speculation as to why continues to abound.
And there you have it! Stay tuned for further exciting adventures :)

Hmmmm...... That does sound like a good chunk of your to-do list got knocked out over the summer. Impressive! *Thumbs Up!*
I second Bronson. Well done! In other news, I need to update my blog, too. Being gone for half the month of February didn't help too much. But now no excuses...no more grad auditions...just stuff like finals and a senior recital coming up. ;) Anyway, I'm so glad to hear all is well, and that the IRS decided to leave you and Mike alone. I can't believe it's already time to do taxes AGAIN. Ug. My W2 got lost in the mail, so I had to go tackle someone in the Administration building and make them give me another one. It was fun. One last thing...do you and Mike know when you're moving back to Utah? I think we should start a countdown. That's how excited I am to see you. Miss you muchly!!!!!!
