Destin-ation

You might say that it was Destin-y that the hurricane avoided New Orleans, leaving me with a week to kill before classes resume on Monday.

I left Chattanooga Wednesday afternoon and found myself in Destin, Fla., a little town in the Florida Panhandle down the coast from Pensacola. Today, I spent all afternoon either on the beach or by the pool, my mind a million miles away from hurricanes and Torts/Criminal Law/Civil Procedure/Contracts. (That's my class line-up for this fall at law school. And yes, it's as dense as it sounds.)

Don't worry, Mom and Pop. I'm still studying, in between trips to the sun. But I just felt like I needed to get my mind off all the chaos of the past week so that I could regroup and get my mind fre-ocused on the task at hand -- getting a good tan. (No, darn it. I mean doing well at law school.)

I'm headed back to NOLA on Saturday, provided the roads are clear. And then back to that other life I had, the one before Gustav.
