That was my away message for most of this week. I just turned in my first law school paper, for American Legal Theory. Final tallies:

• 25 pages
• 97 footnotes
• 6,193 words text
• 3,386 words footnotes
• 80 hours working time (roughly)
• 10 pots of coffee (very roughly)
• 3 Red Bulls
• 1 all-nighter
• 1 year off my life expectancy (minimum)

At least it’s done. I’ll post it to my writings page, sometime this summer (I think I should wait until my peers turn theirs in).
