And we’re back! I hope everyone had a nice spring break. Over the break my mom visited from Wisconsin, and we visited museums together and celebrated her birthday. It was lovely!

My professor was hiking in the Andes in Peru. She said the trip was wonderful (did you know Peruvians have over 4,000 different types of potatoes??), other than a “minor” bicycling accident that resulted in some scrapes and a couple broken ribs. She, of course, did not mention this until she needed help reaching the projector screen and casually explained the accident. I want to be her when I grow up.

As for class, we are now reading “Miranda: The Story of America’s Right to Remain Silent” by Gary L. Stuart. It is our second book this semester and explains the 5th and 6th Amendment protections against self-incrimination. Its a fascinating read, but not the easiest, and I am a little worried since I only see about half the class bringing in a physical copy of the book. I hope everyone is doing the readings!

I am meeting with the Professor on Friday to have lunch and discuss how I’ve been doing as an Academic Fellow. I am also planning on using the meeting to ask her advice about law school and job searches, and ask that she write me a letter of recommendation. Wish me luck!
