Fowler Meeting 2006

We had a meeting of the Fowler Society at Michael's Bistro the other day and it was pretty fun. Josh opened the meeting with an inspirational reading and then we had food, beers, and in my case a delicious hot chocolately mixed drink. We debated many grammar-related issues, and after the meeting closed, some of us went on to eat dinner at Just Curry. A really good evening.

Virginia Tax Review 2006

I got accepted to the Virginia Tax Review yesterday! It's ranked in the top tax journals and is often cited in Law Reviews, so hurrah! We had a welcome reception tonight at Buddhist Biker Bar with food and an open bar.

I feel immense relief. The competition for everything here is so intense, and actually succeeding relative to so many gifted and hardworking people is huge.
