Venice

Exams make me long for a water-taxi ride far far away.

St. Peter's Basillica

The church really is EXCESSIVELY pretty :)

Law Review and Library Love

Today was a big day in any law student's life: the day I found out I made it onto Law Review.

Every since I was a little kid I always loved to read, and write, and dive into books.

As I got older I appreciated libraries more and more too, which is awesome, since for all intents and purposes this means I'll be spending a lot of time in one next year. And so without ado, some of my very favorites, all of which I hope to see in person sometime :)
Casanatense Library in Rome.

George Peabody Library in Baltimore, Maryland, not too far from me :)

Stiftsbibliohek Klosterneubrg, Klosterneuburg, Austria

Library of the Benedictine Monastery of Admont, Austria.

Evident lesson of the day: the Austrians know how to do libraries :)

Carnival Masks

Today I kept remembering my days in Venice. THe masks on all the streets, neatly displayed in booths. They could have been cheesy. Probably they were cheesy. But to me they were beautiful. Striking. Dramatic.

Maybe it's the springtime that makes me miss Europe.
