First Day of Break

Yesterday was the last day of class. I can't believe the semester is really over!

Our torts and civ pro professors all had words of wisdom for us. I experienced the appropriate amount of sorrow, relief, regret, wistfulness, and drunkeness.

And fatigue. I averaged about 5 hours per night in the past few days, due to various section celebrations and the annoying opne memo, which was due Friday. There were a lot of social events this week; I would go to them in the evening, then come back to my apartment around 11 and do my memo for 3-4 hours. Then sleep for a few hours, get up the next day around 8:30, and drink a ton of coffee. Not the healthiest way to live, I know. So Friday I walked around in a bit of a daze. Too horrible notes in class because I couldn't really focus very well. In this respect, I'm glad that the semester is over so I can get my sleep and concentrate on studying.

Ah, it's funny how classes sometimes get in the way of studying.

Some of my classmates walked around in a different kind of daze Friday. To celebrate HIS last day of class, S began drinking first thing in the morning. Before our 9:30 Am torts class, he drank 3 shots of vodka and a beer (this is after getting piss-drunk the previous night too). As fond I am of the guy, I found it disturbing and gross. During torts, his entire IM to me consists of reports on how drunk he felt, while I warned him not to throw up on me or my coat (we were both late to torts and back-benched, him sitting directly behind me). In civ pro, when he staggered into the classroom 10 minutes after class began, looking like hell, I couldn't suppress a snicker. He sits right in front of me during civ pro, so I could see his screen. He played battleship with AK, NP, and AHH during civ pro and took down 2 sentences of notes.

What a way to end the semester. This is when I realize how young many people in our section are. How much younger they are than me!

After our civ pro class, our section headed over to a bar near the law school for an extremely early "happy hour", where we celebrated the end of the semester. We talked and reminisced and asked each other about our holiday plans. Most of my classmates are leaving today for their respective homes. Moi, I'm going to be here 'til the 27th and then flying to Las Vegas to be with Boyfriend and his family for 3 days. Those will be the 3 days I am not doing any work.

Had dinner with AC, J, their SOs, and Boyfriend last night (Boyfriend finally drove up today! Yay!!!). It was the first time they met Boyfriend.

Today, woke up at 9:30, went to starbucks around 12:00, and spent the entire day working on my civ pro outline.
