Nice Thanksgiving

Had a nice, though not too relaxed, Thanksgiving, mainly due to the fact that a 10-page open memo is due right after the break. Damn you, Law School! (More specifically the First Year Lawyering class).

I did a lot of research and writing, but then again, I also played a lot of Resident Evil 4. So, maybe I really shouldn't complain too much.

Boyfriend's parents came to visit us, and spent Thanksgiving night here. Thankfully, we decided to forego turkey in favor of chicken for the Thanksigivng meal, since neither Boyfriend's father nor I like turkey. Obviously, I didn't do any cooking. :D Instead, Boyfriend and her mother got the chicken from Boston Chicken, which was very good (we ordered a turkey from there last year also, which was very good, considering that it was a turkey.). I opened a bottle of my favorite carmenere, and a good time was had by all.

On Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, I met up with JK, my college boyfriend and still a good friend of mine, who is a 3L in "that other school". JK is doing well; just got a clerkship with a controversial DC appellate court judge. JK was very conservative in college, and has a conservative dad who is an appelate court judge. He complained about politicized the entire clerkship application process was, and how with his last name no one but conservative judges would even give him a chance. JK was also depressed because he hadn't seen his girlfriend, who is from LA, in more than 5 weeks. I did my best to cheer him up.

Since I had my van, we went to IKEA to pick out a bed for him. While there, he said loudly that he didn't want anything at the foot of the bed for "having sex" purposes. I shushed him but it was too late. People stared. Ay...

Thanksgiving itself was uneventful. It if it were up to me, I would have drunk a lot more wine But since Boyfriend's parents were here, I had to restrain myself.

I actually vaguely missed law school, minus all the work, obviously. Leaving tomorrow back to B-Town. Am feeling excited to go back.
