My Top 10 Favorite Albums of 2010

It was a hard list to put together as this was a pretty good year for music. Am leaving out some fantastic albums. It pained me to leave things like The National's High Violet or Sharon Jones and the Dap-King's I Learned the Hard Way (a recent obsession) off of the list, but I think this is a good indication of some of my favorites of the year, even if it is very focused on the first half of the year.

1. 1) Beach House – Teen Dream

2. 2) Arcade Fire – Suburbs

3. 3) The Tallest Man on Earth – Wild Hunt

4. 4) LCD Soundsystem – This is Happening

5. 5) Best Coast – Crazy For You

6. 6) Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest

7. 7) She & Him – Volume 2

8. 8) Tame Impala – InnerSpeaker

9. 9) The Morning Benders – Big Echo

1 10) Belle & Sebastian – Write About Love

In before the 2010 ends. Next is my official end of the year mix, but I should probably get work done.

Did I mention that in January, I'm going to be seeing Hair in LA? I'm so excited. I've wanted to see a production of this show since I was in high school. When it was on Broadway, I had planned and subsequently failed to execute trips to NY to see it.

First I need to get through this IP Licensing final. :( Worst finals period ever.

Still alive, but I think I'm hitting zombie mode soon. Crim Pro, Admin Law and now Animal Law are all out of the way. I tackle Copyright on Thursday and then I'm just left with IP Licensing and Data Privacy. IP Licensing is a take home that I've heard is going to be an absolute bundle of joy. Data Privacy...who knows.

It's been a fairly non stop marathon the last few weeks. Pretty exhausting, but I guess I knew that going in. On the upside, I don't really have much time to sit around and dwell on the previous exam I've taken.

But three more finals and I am free-ish until January. Still have journal stuff to do.

On the plus side, despite Thanksgiving, a ton of cupcakes, and a box of Swiss chocolates, I've managed to lose a little weight this finals period. Yay? I blame the kickboxing.
