Did you know I did gymnastics for around 5 years when I was...much much younger? These days, I trip when walking on even ground. Watching the Fab Five at the London Olympics makes be want to get back on the balance beam, but it's probably more realistic to continue living vicariously through these amazing gymnasts.

Congrats to all the Olympians!

Is it Friday already? I have to make my final decision for law school next Monday! Unless I get off a wait-list, I've narrowed down my choices to either moving to Wisconsin or staying in LA. I really like the school in Madison, but the idea of leaving California leaves me torn. What to do?
