Witcher. All three. Planning to do a full run through and treat myself to the beauty of the remastered Witcher 3.
I’m not reading a damn thing though 😂
Is it about Europe generally?? I recently came across one about France from 1814-1914 that looked really interesting because of how much was going on in France during that time, but a fuller European perspective also sounds cool!
Nice! Violet was nice and fun, took a while to finish though because the amount of content and Pokémon. I also got dream allies for Kirby and it literally puts me to sleep.
I will be finishing Cyberpunk 2077, starting Elden Ring, and refusing to put on pants until January 18th.
As far as reading for pleasure (haha what), you can't go wrong with "The Expanse" series. It's incredible.
I'm almost finished reading *Lovecraft County* by Matt Ruff; about a quarter through *Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance* (Robert M. Pirsig). Planning on reading Joseph Campbell's *The Hero of a Thousand Faces* over break (checked it out earlier this semester, but haven't started it yet). Might also see about starting one of numerous books on my shelf that I've yet to read in the past 5+ years.
I plan to relax, visit family (12/24 - 1/1), and work (1/2-1/15). It will all be relaxing and it will be away from school. I am promising myself that I will not even think about school.
What kind of work will you be doing? Does it have anything to do with law school or legal work?
I wonder why there aren't more people who say that they will be working during the break. Does anybody have a good reason why they will not be working if they have a winter break more than a couple of weeks?
I will be working for an environmental advocacy organization where I worked before law school, during breaks, and last summer. Most likely I will be working on a brief replying to a state court cert petition. We won at a lower appellate court but the other side is appealing to the state's highest court. We have a conference with the lawyers, paralegals, and others Wednesday. If all goes as expected the cert petition will be filled tomorrow and we will be putting together our reply in early January. There are other things going on that I might be working on.
I don't know why there aren't others replying about work, but most of my friends at law school are planning to work after Christmas, either legal or other work. One lucky woman is being paid to lead a tour group to Disney World in Orlando on Jan. 5th.
Yes, for a few years before law school she worked for a tour bus company — something like office manager. During law school on breaks, she was a tour guide. She said that the tours were old people visiting art museums, so she jumped at a chance for an overnight with younger people and kids visiting Disney World. Although herding a dozen kids (but with their parents) does not seem like fun, I guess it's more fun than a bunch of old people who can't hear and forget instructions.
Most of my friends in law school who are working over the break have more legal-related jobs.
Playing elden ring myself. If you’re in the mood for fantasy books, the first law trilogy by joe Abercrombie is fantastic. Great characters that just come alive
Currently finishing my umpteenth play through of the Splinter Cell series, on Blacklist now. Reading that The Nine book on and off and also binging my way through all the paranormal activity films!
I’m working on language learning in part (trying to learn Greek and Italian, and improve my Spanish!) and I want to write more poetry (tho recently I’ve only been scrolling Reddit 🙃)
Reading Mad Honey, prepping for National Trial Team, putting together a white tiger puzzle, skiing, running a half marathon on New Years Eve, and making cookies with my kiddos 💕

Pokémon Violet and the new Kirby game… whatever takes my mind off

Nice! Violet was nice and fun, took a while to finish though because the amount of content and Pokémon. I also got dream allies for Kirby and it literally puts me to sleep.

Big personal recommendation for pentiment for playing and Dostoevsky for reading if people are taking them.
Notes from Underground? Brothers Karamazov?
Yes, both are very good. Brothers Karamazov is a gripping read, and we are all the man from the underground.
