So Much Going On!

Had a pleasant week and weekend... Last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I skipped contracts with ABS. Now, lest you think that I am totally irresponsible, (which I fully admit and just not in this instance), I should say in my defense that in all three days, I used the time during contract to read and discuss contracts with ABS.

Frankly, with our professor going off on tangents regarding the greatness of logic and the stupidity of Oliver Wendell Holmes (yes, I'm not kidding. Holmes is like my prof's mortal enemy), the time is MUCH better spent learning contracts on our own. More and more of my classmates are doing the same. From the report of J, only about 25 students (out of 80) showed up to the Friday class. This is the same class where the prof spent about 30 minutes arguing with two people who he thought disagreed with him, one of whom, it turned out, didn't even disagree with him that much. So glad that I didn't have to suffer through that. It really sounds like that class is spiraling out of control. In the meanwhile, none of us are learning any contracts. I can literally say everything we've learned this semester in five sentences.

I could, but I don't want to bore you. :)

Spent a lot of time this weekend reading for my next week's classes and playing online monopoly at games.com. This is seriously one of my greatest discovery ever. You can play 8 differnet types of original board games online with your friends! I'm totally addicted to monopoly and played at least 8 games on Saturday. Saturday evening I took it easy.

On Sunday, J and I met up bright and early and met our Lawyering professor and went over our Ames brief. The message we took away from that was: our brief sucked and it needed a lot of work. Yikes. Back to the drawing board on that one...

Afterwards, J and I had a very nice lunch with her husband and went our separate ways

On Sunday evening, I had dinner with ABS at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant on the Square. I walked home, half-watched the Academy Awards, half-read tax, and half... played monopoly. :) I did finish the reading for tax for next week, but don't guarantee that I understood or remembered everything.

And speaking of the Academy Awards, I was disappointed that Brokeback Mountain didn't win Best Pictures, though I'm sure Crash was a great film. I didn't see ANY of the five movies nominated, although I do plan to rectify that this summer.

Boyfriend has been here for the entire past week. I really love it when he's here, and love vegging with him in the evenings. When the weather gets warmer I do want us to do more activities around C-town and B-town.

There has been many, many firm receptions in the past week, all of which I have signed up for and I have missed, because of the suddenly freezing weather and Boyfriend visiting. I do regret a bit about missing all that fancy food and all that alcohol (although I'm sure it gets old real fast -- at least for now, I'm still somewhat intrigued by the whole concept that someone is willing to give me these things for nothing!). This is another one of those things I plan to do when the weather gets warmer...
