Three of my four classes this semester are now complete! I can’t believe how fast this semester flew by. All that I have remaining is a final in tax law on December 11th. I’m also doing research assistant work for the Venture Capital Course offered next semester so I will still be busy the next…

Doesn’t feel like November…
The weather here is ridiculously nice for late November with temps in the mid 60s and sunshine every single day! Furthermore, the weather forecast for the next 10+ days holds the strong west coast ridge of high pressure in place (a “blocking pattern”). This translates into more tranquil weather with sunny days and crisp nights/mornings….
Law and Business Society Speaker
On Tuesday we had the second speaker for the Law and Business Society. We were extremely fortunate to have Professor Grundfest speak, who is an amazing lecturer and teacher of two excellent courses at the law school (capital markets/securities regulation and venture capital). We had a great turnout and the students enjoyed the talk, which…
Fun negotiation
Today I had a really fun negotiation exercise for real estate transactions class. I negotiated the lease terms as the tenant with the landlord, which was another student. We each met with a practicing attorney to discuss strategies and then did the negotiation as they observed. After the negotiation, they gave us feedback on our…
Getting Busy
Things have gotten a quite busy all of the sudden with various assignments, reading, and events to attend. Tomorrow I have a client interview exercise in downtown Palo Alto which should be fun. I ran today at Los Altos Hills for 60 minutes. I covered a loop I often run in surprisingly fast time, especially…
Back in CA for the second time
I am back at Stanford as fly back week is over and classes resume tomorrow. I had a really fun time at home. Between the 50k trail race and the Mount Stuart speed climb, I got some quality relaxation time at home. I basically forgot everything about reading law textbooks, articles, and assignments, but now…
Back Home!
I am back in Sammamish for flyback week! At Stanford Law, second and third year students get a week off from classes for law firm interviews. This is mostly for second year students as myself and many other third year students do not have any interviews lined up. The result? A complete week off. I…
Huddart Run
I had a good run at Huddart Park today despite it being in the middle of the day and quite hot. Huddart is one of the best places to run on a hot day because it is all in thick, shady forest. The run was 76 minutes long, approx. 2,000 feet of gain, and about…
First Day of Classes
Today was the first day of classes of my last year at Stanford Law School. I had tax law in the morning and real estate transactions this evening. Both classes were interesting. Tomorrow I have tax again in the morning and a corporate governance colloquium in the afternoon. This afternoon I had an awesome run…
2L Year Finished
I completed my final this morning and now my second year of law school is complete. It’s unbelievable how fast time is flying! The exam was a four hour closed book test with lots of writing and lots of memorization. Both my hand and head hurt right now. I tried my best and I feel…
