New pages from new scraps

Just two. This is the final addendum to this set

First, a collection of my red scraps surrounding the tagline of a flier for a pro-Palestinian protest where we surrounded the White House with a huge red ribbon for hours on end. The scraps:

  1. A flashcard, one of many scattered on the sidewalk in Bushwick. Probably one of Winnie's neighbors', honestly. I took two, and mailed the other one to my friend who loves math. 
  2. A tag on a present meant for me, tied to the original gift with the candy cane string. 
  3. Excerpts of my daily journal cut out and highlighted in red. 
  4. Cut-out from my scrap paper from a practice LSAT I took in April of last year. 
  5. Red envelope from Isabelle's mom, who'd never met me and Christopher, but appreciated that we were good company for her daughter.
  6. A fortune from late 2023 reading, "The object of your desire comes closer," with the lucky numbers 19, 30, 29, 50, 38, and 23. 


 Then, the final page. I wanted the page about law school to be last because the scrapbook was meant to end when I turned 24 or began a new chapter of life. The details: 

  1. Yellow backing paper from my Property notes with problems about race-notice statutes, which dictate who has the best claim to any given piece of real property but vary per jurisdiction. 
  2. The top left corner of my Civil Procedure I outline, which we were permitted to bring to the final anonymously.  So I tore my name off of each page just before the final began. I did well on that test.
  3. The location of my first law job and the seals off of my bosses' business cards.
  4. A bookmark from OK Access to Justice's library initiative. 
  5. A name tag used for an event at school.
  6. Various excepts from my cheat sheet for the moot court competition: part of my script and amendments made for rebuttal purposes and a note from my competition partner Taylor.  
  7. Taylor's hand made into a turkey and her official notary stamp valid only in Nebraska.

Marked completed as of today. I put it on the cover this time.


 Next one TBD. Waiting on a few things and also for a worthy vessel. I kind of hated constructing my own this last time, but I'll do it again if need be.
