Life’s a beach. And then its fall. More specifically, today is the fall equinox. To reminisce, here are some random summer oh-six highlights:

Considering I am the only person left on the planet left without a digital camera, these are just limited pictures. Thanks to everyone who sends me their photos! Enjoy.

I think Coco must be rolling over in her grave right now. Oh, to be young, pretty, and rich – the Olsens and their Chanel bags.

Jock Mr. Clooney! Hopefully the ICC will prosecute even though Sudan is not a party to the Rome Statute.

And in other news... Sean Preston has a little brother - another boy for B*Spears & K*Fed.

A Little Learning is an Expensive Thing: this op-ed shows why UCLA is the best university in the world. The writer, William M. Chace, used to be president at Emory, and talks about one of my most favorite subjects: public v. private schools. He touches on some of the issues associated with it, but there are so many - financial aid, housing, education, affirmative action, culture, technology, admissions, alumni, grades, TAs, professors, job opportunities, internships - I could go on, but don’t want to bore my precious blog readers. I'll just have to keep my public v. private school discussions limited to my favorite debaters Leila Seradj and Stephanie Movahhed =)

I don’t know whether to cry for her, or be proud of her. Right before the wedding, the bride found out her fiancé had been cheating on her, so she turned her wedding party into a philanthropy event.

Tucker Max contemplates: Should I go to law school?

I would like to respond with two statements -
1. yes, I would love to be Ally McBeal
2. yes, I do want to change the world
- and I will do both of those while still having a fabulous, fantastic, fun life, filled with faith, friends, and family.
