This post is a shameless attempt of self ego boosting. Don't read it if you're not in the mood for that.

But I got the invitation for my ten year high school reunion, which has thrown me into one of those "what have I don't with my life" spirals.

So I've been going through things that I've done in the last ten years. Somehow it doesn't seem as bad.
  • Graduated undergrad with two degree
  • Lobbied several members of congress about environmental issues 
  • Was an environmental activist 
  • Published two academic articles 
  • Was thanked in the liner notes of a Phantom Planet album
  • Learned how to sail
  • Learned a language
  • Studied abroad in Italy the summer they won the World Cup
  • Attended a Hollywood premiere and walked on the red carpet 
  • Visited the DMZ 
  • Interned at the Washington DC Greenpeace offices 
  • Led a group to Louisiana for Hurricane Katrina relief volunteer work
  • Met Scott Bakula 
  • Visited twenty countries and eleven states that I'd never been to before. 
  • Graduated law school
  • Was editor in chief of my law journal 
  • interned at the two non-profit orgs that made me want to go to law school to do IP (Creative Commons and EFF) 
  • Attended an administrative law class taught by Justice Scalia 
  • Passed the California state bar 
  • Ate at French Laundry and met Thomas Keller 
  • Met Rick Steves
  • Met Stan Lee 
  • Met Chris 
Maybe I could have done more, but I can't say that's bad for ten years. I also have a little under five months to add some cool stuff to that list.
