An eventful year

2004 was a very busy year for me; let me recount some of the more notable events:

• I survived my first year of law school despite some very serious personal obstacles (and despite somewhat disappointing grades, I received a couple of writing awards from the law school)
• I spent my summer doing a legal internship at a great software company (and will be there again this semester)
• I managed to lock down a summer associate position (for next summer) at a well-known intellectual property firm
• I was approached by not one, but two, very large publishers about contributing to, and even writing my own, book on Google-related matters; I ended up contributing to one book and being the technical editor on both
• I welcomed the fifth-year anniversary of this website and watched its audience grow exponentially
• And to top it all off, I’ve finally let myself like someone again, and she’s wonderful
