a slight correction, and also, I'm back
So in my last post, I kind of lied. Tuesday, April 24th wasn't technically my last day of class, though it was my last day of traditional, doctrinal, Socratic law lectures (Criminal Procedure and International IP.) And it was sad to be done with those. (I will admit, I was shocked when visiting professor Chris Slobogin abruptly, and without fanfare, ended my last doctrinal lecture with a terse, "It's been great. Bye!" I would have hoped he would at least tell us how great of a class we were, or how he'll miss Stanford, but I am also convinced he prides himself on being gruff in an affable sort of way that is consistent with that not-so-grand exit.)
So anyway, it wasn't until my last 2-unit, non-graded, no-final Accounting class on Wednesday that the realization really kicked in. And that real very-last-class was not without incident.
Because I got very little sleep the night before due to the paper deadline, I was zoning out during Accounting. I thus figured I could leave at 5 pm instead of at 5:20, slip out, and take a nap before the Board of Visitors dinner. Instead, when Professor Rajan saw me leaving, he stopped the whole class and asked me to fill out an evaluation form. It was quite embarassing and he totally called me out. But what a way to go, I guess.
In other news, I just got back from two and a half days in America's Second City. I visited a couple of my friends at University of Chicago, saw a slew of tourist attractions, went on a number of tours, and checked out the nightlife as well -- Chicago has excellent comedy, jazz, and blues clubs. And so far, I'm not regretting the decision to go two days before my CrimPro final, which is on Tuesday. (I just have to cram, now.) More on all this later!
