Ames, Ames, Ames, Ames....That's my life right now. For those of you unfamiliar with the strange territory of Harvard Law, Ames has to be the most overused moniker at any law school. James Barr Ames was the 2nd dean here (a legal historian!), and they've named half of the school after him.
The hall I live in is called Ames. There's an Ames Courtroom on campus. There is the Final Round Ames Competition--an extracurricular mock trial for 2nd and 3rd year students. The hypotheticals on final exams usually take place in the fictional "State of Ames."
And, finally, there's the required 1st year moot court called Ames. I've been incredibly busy working with my partner to turn in our brief for it. It's due on Thursday, but I'm hoping to be all done with it in just a few more minutes. I've spent far too many hours in the library on this darned brief. Other things have been going on, but Ames has sort of killed my brain.
This morning, I heard Howard Dean speak on campus at the National Law School Democrats Conference. Very cool. I wish that I had more time to attend conference events, but alas, Ames.
I'm looking forward to SPRING BREAK. It's exactly one week away. Headed to Florida with friends. I'm desperate for some sun and some rest. And it'll be good to escape from Ames.
