Work hard, play hard

Last week was horrendously long. I have a memo due tomorrow that we’ve been working on for a month and the professor just told us on Thursday that we needed to add a question presented, brief answer, fact statement and conclusion–all this time we had been operating under the assumption that it was an informal memo with the discussion section only. BOOOO! HISSSS! Anyway, I just couldn’t deal. Since I’ve made a resolution to try and connect with more of my peers,  Thursday night I hit up the local Mexican restaurant with my section mates to celebrate a buddy’s birthday. Friday night I hung out with my BLSA friends, got tipsy, and played video games (The Michael Jackson Experience for Wii and Rap Star for PlayStation are instant party makers, FYI). Saturday night was law school prom–think high school prom, if alcohol was freely available and you can imagine some of what went down. I stuck to shaking my groove thing but I still woke up bleary eyed. I won’t incriminate my classmates by divulging the foolishness that went on this weekend,, but suffice it to say that it was crazy fun. I won’t be doing that again for a while though!

I managed to drag myself to the library in the afternoon and spent 3.5 hours finishing my memo and doing homework for Monday. I was struggling not to nap the whole time. Even though I woke up at 11,  my sleep schedule’s all off because I went to bed at like 3am Friday & Saturday and I have a (probably boring) ethics lecture at 8:30am sharp tomorrow. I will be in bed promptly at 10pm like a little old lady. Only one more week until spring break…and then the pre-exam, end of semester madness starts. I can’t believe that the end of 1L is only 2 months away! Just gotta make it…
