Yeah, so I said I’d be writing some more stuff in the near future. I lied. And don’t think that because now I’m writing that all of a sudden I’m going to keep my promise. There’s one very simple reason for this: exams. I have my first law school exams on January 5, 8 and 10. In the meantime, there are a few things I will post now.

Yale chess is at the Pan-ams with two teams. Last night our A team beat Dartmouth 3.5 to 0.5 and this morning we just beat Miami-Dade’s A team 3 to 1. All I can say is I’m giddy as a schoolboy. And I’m excited about our B team because two of the three freshmen on the trip are on it!

Also, for those in the respective areas that I’ve forgotten to tell: I’ll be in New York for new year’s then back to Boston for finals. During the intercession (apparently the official name of the break between 1L finals and the start of second semester classes), I’ll be in France (Tours, one hour from Paris by train) and Germany (Cologne and Munich).
Finally, snobby latin is no longer monthly and no longer Latin. Hopefully the next poster (TBD) will be a bit more punctual than Vlad (not that I’m in a position to complain given my aforementioned tardiness). In the meantime, even though Oid’ ho theleis, logous theleis, I’m afraid I won’t be able to deliver much more for a while.

Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year!

PS. Here are the games from the win against Miami-Dade. You can play them out on an on-line board at monroi.com/wdc/.

I should have a string of posts. I’ve been waiting to actually put these in nice words and all, but that’s clearly not going to happen, so I’m just going to be putting a lot of information about what’s been up with me at HLS and what my latest thing to be angry about is (actually, there’s more than one, but you get the idea).
