What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins

Second place, baby
Well, I didn't take the cake, but I got a few bites out of it. It was a tough round and everybody was in top form. Turns out that the dean of the law school, Professor Crago, who was one of my judges, taught a Corporations class for ten years--when I tried to explain the legal difference between a person and a corporation, he was all over me like white on rice. Erin Bumbalough took the prize--she's an adorable little thang from Tennessee with a southern accent that melts tin--so I don't feel so bad. Plus, she rocked it. I'm just glad the contest is over, so I can get back to my actual studies.
