A scattershot update  
I spent the afternoon getting pleasantly lost on the Duke campus, trying to find two buildings that are right next to each other and very large.

The result, finally, was a copy of Windows XP (Has anyone else noticed the emoticonical appropriateness of that name?) to install on my otherwise pristine MacBook, and my very own DukeCard, which, as far as I can tell, serves as everything from a key to a credit card to quasi-legal ID in the city of Durham.

After a few weeks of recurring "I'm in some law class and it's finals time and I'll be damned if I've ever even seen this professor before, much less actually listened to a lecture" anxiety dreams, my brain has apparently decided to give me a break... by providing a recurring anxiety dream about moving. In it, it's ten A.M. of the day I'm planning to move, the movers are gone, and I've just looked around my apartment and noticed six or eight more loaded bookshelves that I'd somehow missed and forgotten to pack.

In more pleasant news, I've met and started dating a pretty awesome young lady.

I had a similar moving dream. That I found an entire new room full of stuff right before the movers showed up. Jesus. Stress much?

Nah. He's just able to say the magic phrase, "I'm in law school."

How old is this girl?

Does it really matter? As long as she's able to keep up with him in conversation, (and as long as there's no illegality,) then age is pretty much entirely irrelevant.

I believe she's 14... don't worry, he has parental consent...her parents are just happy he's college educated and doesn't live in a trailer like their daughter Emma Jane's husband (he's 42, she's 17)


:D

Don't kid yourself. Age matters.

Isn't it funny how "age doesn't matter"--it's all floating hearts and starry eyes and lurve--until us guys are dating some hot 21 year old, and then suddenly age matters?
