Call me crazy, but I think the creation of a national educational system is long overdue...

Obama Calls for Overhaul of Education System

I think the implementation of vouchers has too many flaws to be beneficial. The ATF makes me nuts, and I don't think the tenure system is still needed.

My future teaching colleagues are going to LOVE me.

Niels and I have decided to go to the Law School's Barrister's Ball next Friday, which means I need a dress. As most of you know I'm a jeans and tshirt girl and I don't have any a lot of formal wear. I found this dress on the Nordstrom website.


I absolutely LOVE it. Love. Love. Love.

They don't have it in my size. Of course they don't. That would make life too easy.

So I spent a couple hours last night looking for another one, but couldn't find anything I liked as much as the awesome dress.

I went with this one.


It's really pretty, but definitely my second choice.

Now I've to buy shoes...
