Dear Reader,
Thank you very much for the “Nameday” greetings on Thursday. I celebrated it with (self-made) pancake and maple syrup, ‘because I did not find moules-frites.
The third week began with sunshine, but the weather became cloudy and rainy soon. Actually the rain can’t annoy me, if I always keep moving, thus I don’t feel cold. J The weekend’s theme was “walking in the rain as much as you can”.
The Mount Pisgah Arboretum and The River Path System are the best places to get exercise after a week you were sitting in your office or in a classroom… and the Sweet Life Patisserie is the best place to recompense (the homepage can better explain my feelings: www.sweetlifedesserts.com).
On the weekend I was in the Fern Ridge Reservoir, too. I think I surprised my new friends at ELAW how I arranged my excursion to the lake. They told me they had never known anyone who had been there with bus. I had to confess, I hate driving and I used to travel with our well-organized public transportation in Hungary… ahem :) … obviously.
Anyway, travelling with LTD was a valuable experience in getting to know people of different social strata. Later, after visiting the reservoir, I had been on the verge of hitchhiking, because I had been standing by the highway, waiting for the bus over one hour, but the bus arrived at last… I felt reborn when I arrived in the ELAW house.
In our weekly discussions with Jen we focused on nuisance law, because it is the basis for many environmental and land use cases. She said, stigma cases had been tried first as nuisance cases: toxic waste dumps stigmatize one’s land if it is nearby, decreasing the marketability of the land.
On the weekdays mostly I spent my time at the university, as usual. This week began the elective course (academic vocabulary) as well as the working in the new oral skills class.
I uploaded some new pictures…
t.b.c.
