First and foremost, I turned in my briefs. I'll find out by this weekend whether I have to hack at that thing one more time over spring break. Hopefully, I don't, though. I also printed two or three more copies than I actually need due to some sort of miscommunication. Go figure.
After Moot Court last night, where I got pummeled in another oral argument (will have to work on his), I ran back to the apartment to make pasta carbonara. Jeanne wanted to do a floor dinner and the ingredients for carbonara were a lot more accessible than the ingredients for, say, claim linguini. That was actually an interesting experience. The pasta itself came out okay, but I managed to set off the fire alarm, break a plate and make my room permanently smell like bacon in the process. At least it was good carbonara. Also, because it took about twenty years for the water to boil, everyone was waiting for this dish. Dinner was good though. It was just a few of us from the floor and Jeanne's high school friend. Gina joined us later on as well. A lot of good food + cake. I really haven't eaten well this week. We hung out for a long while after that and made a memorial toast to the Bag Lady, who passed away on Tuesday.
Our classes were canceled today. One of the perks about going to law school is that class gets canceled over things such as the Prop 8 hearings. I actually did get up early (surprisingly) to watch the hearings. Between watching the news and hearing the helicopters, I eventually felt kind of lame for sitting inside while this was literally going on down the street, so I ventured outside around 10. I only meant to stay around for about 30 minutes or so, but I ended up staying out there for the rest of the hearing.
People were generally quiet around the jumbo tron because they wanted to actually watch what was going on. The people who wanted to be loud and protest were in front of the court. The jumbo tron actually went off a few times, at which point everyone against 8 broke out into singing "What the World Needs Now is Love."
While we're here, we'll play a game of spot the grammar error (usually I wouldn't, but the guy who carried the sign was obnoxious)
All in all, it was a fun experience. Well, except for the fact that the prospect of them repealing it looks grim. That's not fun. Nope.
The hearings ended around noon. Some of the attorneys held press conferences in front of the court after, but I decided that I should probably eat and/or trying to get some work done before GAAP.
Didn't get much done in that hour, but GAAP was fun. I was busy for most of the first half and then it slowed down to almost and picked up right before I left. I have fun at GAAP.
Got back, went to the gym, got some reading done and then went over to BOB with Jeanne. Met up with a bunch of people from KALSA. We were supposed to have this big KALSA/JLS mixer/happy hour and karaoke event, but it seemed like mostly KALSA people showed up. It was still fun. A lot of eating. At the bar/lounge place we went to, Gina, Yaeri and I split noodles and fried rice. It was also one of the guys' belated birthday, so we had cake.
Then, we headed over to Japantown for karaoke, but we got sidetracked along the way and stopped off for crepes. I tried hard resisting, but I really cannot resist a banana and nutella crepe. Banana and nutella. Kind of like my kriptonite, but maybe not.
Karaoke was a lot of fun. Actually, it's a little more intense going to karaoke with people who actually sing the Korean songs (that isn't Bogoshipda). I don't know. My voice is dead after a ton of us did this epic performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. I feel like that always happens during karaoke, though.
Our group left early because they all had to go to some other party at 10. They tried to drag me along, but I resisted. I really don't like going to clubs unless there is good live music. Also, I have to read for Enviro Law because I seem to be one of the few people who actually have class tomorrow. Should probably finish that actually.
