What I've Been Up To

I swore I'd never be one of those bloggers that let my baby take over my blog, but...(see January). However, I thought last month's blog posts were a pretty accurate description of how my life has been. Nevertheless, I thought I'd give an update of the non-baby things I've been doing.

SCHOOL: I'm in two classes this semester- Trusts and Directed Research. I'm being lazy and including generic course descriptions below: 

• Trusts examines the legal framework of private and charitable trusts as vehicles for the donative disposition and management of personal wealth, both inter vivos and testamentary, with emphasis on the nature of the fiduciary obligations of trustees and the rights and obligations of trust grantors and beneficiaries.
• Directed Research requires that a student submit to their faculty supervisor a completed draft of a research paper or memorandum of law containing either criticism of the law relating to the topic area. I'm required to do 100 hours of work in researching and writing the paper- the area I'm focusing on is the Indian Civil Rights Act. 

BOOKS: Matt and I have been reading "Tuesdays with Morrie" this month. I've read the book before, but it's interesting reading it again because Morrie was a psychology professor, just like Matt wants to be. It's also an interesting read now that I'm married, as many of the topics in the book have new meaning now. I'm also looking forward to the sequel of "To Kill a Mockingbird"



MOVIES: We recently rewatched the 90's classic, "Cool Runnings."Here are some of my favorite quotes:

• A gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without one, you'll never be enough with one.
• When you need something from me, you don't have to hand me a bunch of lines. All you have to do is look at me in the eye and say, "Sanka, you are my best friend, we've been through a whole heap together, and I really, really need you."
• Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time! Cool Runnings!

DATES: My mom has been helping out a lot with the baby, which has given Matt and I the opportunity to get out a few times! We did sealings at the temple and I cheered Matt on during one of the Stake Basketball tournament games (he's #5).

GAMES: I've played Risk before, but it's been years, so we pulled it out this month and did the two player version. Unfortunately, Matt forgot to tell me all of the rules, so we had to have a rematch later on. 




Rhetorically,
