Today was a very long day. The only reason I'm still up is because I'm trying to get ConLaw done for Thursday. It's literally like five pages, so it's doable.

Today's my early day. I have to be in class at the unheard of hour of 8:30. I know, law school can be cruel sometimes. Somehow, I'm like 2 lectures ahead in that reading, so all is right in the world of environmental law...I think. I'm still terrified of his final.

Okay, done with Con Law.

Anyway, I watched Chuck between Enviro Law and Con Law. I'm glad that show is back. I love it. It's a good contrast to Heroes, which sometimes takes itself too serious. Also, Adam Baldwin's kind of amazing on the show. This was the dreaded 3D episode. Thus, for all of us who do not have the pleasure of having 3D glasses on hand, we got to watch a blurry episode of the show with many lame attempts at making things pop out at you. What I found more intriguing about the preview was that they show Tony Hale shout "No touching." I have to imagine this is a reference to a certain canceled Fox show (they even played the "Final Countdown" later in the episode). We get to see Charlie back from the Lost-dead. He plays what I imagine Charlie would have been like when I was in Driveshaft. Well, I guess he'd need a little more heroine and a diaper to be Driveshaft Charlie. When is Scott Bakula coming to the show? That's what I'm waiting for.

I got called on during Con Law. It caught me off guard, but the fact that I mispronounced the name of the buyer actually managed to buy me a few minutes to review my brief. That helped.

GAAP went by really quickly today. I guess when you're there for only 45 minutes, anything goes by quickly. I spent the time working with one person and ended up getting vey little accomplished. We had to fax in some form and it takes a day to process, so it's not really anyone's fault. He's coming back on Thursday and we should be able to sort that whole mess out.

I actually very last minute decided to go to the Immigration Clinic with the Asian Law Caucus tonight. I missed the training last week because I wasn't sure if it was something that 1Ls could participate in, but they said it was okay when I emailed them. The office is really far from here. It took us about 35 minutes or so to walk there, but it was a very interesting experience. It's pretty much what it sounds like. You're helping people with immigration issues. I shadowed a more experienced volunteer today because I missed training last week. It runs every two weeks, that should be a fun experience.

Got back just in time for Idol, which was really lame. I was so excited for Hollywood week and today was just an extended round of auditions, except you hardly got to hear anyone sing. Also, the suspense has been kind of ruined because the Top 36 leaked on the Internet already. Tomorrow's supposed to be group day. That's where the fun in Hollywood lies.

While watching Idol, I started to bake brownies. We're supposed to sign up for a day to bring snack in to Moot Court and it's tomorrow for me. I decided to bake brownies and bring in chips and salsa. I made the salsa last night during Gossip Girl. Brownies were for today. When I got the mix at Trader Joes a couple of weeks ago, they were out of the really good truffle brownie mix. I was stuck with the fat free one. I got it anyway because healthy brownies aren't a bad thing... The batter was really good, so when I stuck the brownies into the oven, I expected delicious brownies to come out in 25 minutes. They weren't delicious. They have absolutely no flavor. Well, actually, no. I had to use two pans to bake these brownies. My baking pan was way too big. Jeanne's weren't big enough, so I just used two of hers. One pan of brownies were a little burnt, so they have slightly more flavor than the other one. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if "burnt" is a good additional flavor.

Bottom line is that you shouldn't get the no puge brownies from Trader Joes. the salsa came out okay. It needed more salt, though.

That's about it for today. Tomorrow's the long day of classes!
