write on is easier than dealing with your mother

[abony holmes]

I think what I’m about to say is going to make a whole lot of people not like me, but I’m saying it anyway: I’m enjoying the law review write on process.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather spend this week lounging at my pool, or sipping ice cold lemonade on my balcony with my favorite chick lit novel, or even organizing my bookshelf like I promised myself I’d do the past few months.

But the law review write on isn’t so bad. Thinking back to the end of last semester, where I spent Christmas break explaining to my mother that (1) I’m not getting married anytime soon (2) or having children (3) or moving back to DC, the law review write on process requires less of my analytical and persuasion skills, and I don’t have to feel guilty if no one buys my argument.
