The Intentional Torte: Bread and Fishes

For the 1Ls who don’t have something to compare it to, we had an extra week of winter break this year. Having an extra week of break presents an almost endless array of possible ways to screw around, goof off, and otherwise waste what should rightfully be productive time.

When you find yourself wondering aloud how you could use the other half an egg or 7/8 of a quart of buttermilk leftover from a recipe, you will understand what I mean. There just aren’t enough recipes out there that ask for half an egg.

I was lucky enough to spend most of Sunday over on the other side of the river in Cambridge. It was a beautiful fall day, I was in a good mood, and I was looking forward to watching Head of the Charles. I walked over because getting anywhere close to Cambridge in a vehicle during HOTC is fruitless – you just can’t get there from here. Or, indeed, from anywhere.

The Intentional Torte: Packing Lunch

There are many things about BC Law that I like. We have kind and interesting students, inspiring and intelligent faculty, and excellent facilities. However, while there are many things I like about the school, the cafeteria is not one of them and according to our recent EiO poll, I am not alone.
