Brush with Fame

I have a haircut appointment in 25 minutes -- not enough time to get anything done. For disciplined people, maybe they would read a chapter of tax or something. But for me, it takes 25 minutes just to get myself motivated. So am going to post instead.

Today was packed. Had property at 10:30, where the professor sped through two day's worth of reading. It's the end of semester so he is trying to play catch up. How irritating.

After property, went with S to a lunch with a McKinsey recruiter at a fansy restaurant in the Square.

Lunch was very interesting. The recruiter described to us the arduous interview process at McKinsey, and the corporate structure and culture. It sounds even more intense than law firms, and much harder to get in to boot. I did hear from S beforehand though that you eseentially kill any hope of a law career if you don't work in law as your first job. It seems hard to go down the consulting path.

Lunch was excellent. I had the most delicious grilled chicken salad in my life. No, seriously. They put some spices into the grilled chicken that I have never had before. And the chocolate mousse dessert afterwards was excellent too. I could get used to this. :)

But here's my brush with fame today. At lunch, this pretty blonde girl sat next to me, and we spoke a lot. She's a bit ditzy (mostly in her intonation and mannerisms; what she said was actually quite intelligent), very friendly, and quite talkative. We really seemed to hit it off. Then when lunch was over, she and I said goodbye and I realized that I didn't know her name.

It turned out that she was JB, a girl who was very very prominently portrayed in the law school parody a few months ago. In the parody, she was a central figure who is extremely superficial, ditzy, and evil, who started an elitist social club and wanted to take over the law school, or something.

I was shocked and amused to have met her in real life. She seemed so nice and quite down-to-earth, and I actually liked her a lot. Just shows you, once again, how stupid and unfair the whole parody thing was.

Anywayz, in the afternoon, had tax and then the last class for First Year Lawyering. I really won't miss that class. So glad that it's finally over. Then some of my classmates went to the FYL final party at a bar in the Square, while I came home.

Tomorrow will be another full day. 3 classes AND prof's office hours AND having dinner with our property prof in the evening (with 3 other girls in my section... this is related to the auction.)

:D Finally warmer these days!
:( weighed myself and gained nearly 10 lbs since the beginning of the law school! Need to somehow work the extra poundage off now.
