It's late, so my post tonight is going to be kind of more random than usual.
AC organized a surprise birthday for GW, her bestfriend in the section, and invited all of us, including S, JE, CB, the guy GW is dating, and some others. We went out to a sports and games bar in B-Town, played pool and foosball, and had a very good time. On the subway, AC showe us some photos on her iPod from December at the section dinner. I am startled to see how far we have come, and how far away that seemd (only four months ago!).
Also, looking back at these older photos of me, I realized that I have gained quite a lot of weight in the past few months. It's all this eating out that is making my waist thicker and my thighs bigger, and my face rounder. So I made another resolution today to eat less and exercise more.

I am happy and sad tonight. Happy because I have made so many good friends in law school, people that I enjoy hanging out with and talking to. I am not only being inducted into a profession, I am being included in a larger social circle with my future colleagues and friends.
Sad because there are certain people that I wish I were closer with but am not. There are people that you feel you could make a connection with, yet they drift inexorably away from you, because of bad timing, the wrong chemistry, other factors. I wish I could be more casual or more fatalistic about these things.

It snowed today. Can you believe it? Just last week it was supposedly 70 degrees here, and today fat snow flakes were falling from the sky. I was appalled and amused, and decided that if New England were a woman, she would be my kind of chick.

The public interest auction is tomorrow night. It should be interesting. I have a lot of stuff that I want to bid on, and some stuff that I want to possess desperately. I looked at the auction listings and some stuff is amusing. Someone in my section is auctioning "an easement to his right foot." Lots of professors are auctioning off dinners and parties and wine tastings and desserts. There are also quite a few spectacular experiences listed, including tickets to NBA games and major league baseball, 7-course wine tasting, Colorado or Quebec vacations, and the like.
There are also a lot more plebian things, of course, like rides to the grocery store and the airport, hula dancing lessons, squash lessons, or just a home-cooked meal by a fellow law student.
I will keep you posted on what I succeed or fail to get.
