The 2011 Eleven

2011 was a significant year for me.  Both joyful and challenging, the following eleven events sum up the most consequential moments of the year.

Banner Revue

In honor of my most recent blog layout update, I thought I'd do a post looking back at my banners from the past three years.  Ah, memories...

July 2008
My first banner, in honor of St. Thomas More.

November 2008
SCOTUS: symbolic not only of the first semester my legal education, but also of blossoming love of DC.

March 2009
From a neat brick building in Rosslyn, VA.

August 2009
I love this photo from the Korea War Veterans Memorial.

May 2010
When I think of my blog, this is still the banner that pops into my head.

April 2011
Revelations--get it?  From the Lawrence Caltrain platform.

May 2011
The train motif was a good symbol for barreling toward the bar exam.

July 2011
Alibi's pensive stare reflects my own curiosity about the future...

Loyal reader, is your blog in need of a new banner?  Comment with an idea or photo (and the desired size) and I'd be happy to try my hand at making you one, what with all of my newfound free time!

Dresser Kitten

I find it unbelievable that Alibi can fit underneath my dresser:



Oh, man, I've finally contributed to the abundance of cat videos that made up approximately 65% of the Internet.

From DC to CA

Since my last post, I have...

Gone on a tour of the White House,

Visited the Franciscan Monastery and gardens,

Graduated from law school,

Begun to study for the California Bar Exam,

Purchased some new shoes, and

Adopted a kitten named Alibi!
