Phew... am dead tired mentally--but somehow still trucking along. Been pushing myself mercilessly to stay afloat with homework, networking, student associations, and work.
Recapping the last two weeks, in no particular order:
- Thoroughly debauched and abused Google Calendars. My life until December is now scheduled. |D It's hilarious, though very sad: Anybody who wants to hang out with me has to pretty much make an appointment. orz
- Suddenly realised that a good portion of my new friends are Korean. This is a very big and bemusing change from my associative process at WashU (wherein I was "D: DO NOT WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH ASIANS").
- Ran for 1L rep on the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA) executive board. Got it and consequently joined/attended the Asian American Bar Association's first happy hour. Networked like crazy and did not pop my karaoke virginity amongst a bunch of practicing attorneys. |D DID network aggressively and partake in publicising the inter-APALSA banquet though.
- Also joined the Society of Law Students for Secularism (SLSS), Women's Law Society, and the IP Society.
- Still keeping up with the obscene volume of daily readings. However, I now sincerely believe my Contracts professor is drunk (he slurs, cannot enunciate, and is always drinking from a Styrofoam cup). I swear to god, his speech pattern sometimes resembles gibberish more than anything else. Once he was telling a joke and all I got from it was "arithmetic." IT WAS SO BAD. I was like "... what. What are you saying? I'm awake; I'm focused. WHY ARE THE SOUNDS COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH NONSENSICAL?? YOU'RE SPEAKING ENGLISH. YOU HAVE TO BE. WHY CAN I NOT UNDERSTAND YOU a;dslkfsjdfh"
- Will be hosting
meiface,
suxing, and their friend on the weekend of Oct. 22... however I predict myself to be a horrible host because 1) Contracts midterm on 10/22; 2) Work full days on Saturdays; 3) Memo II due 10/25. Have planned around it though--will try to finish writing Memo II by 10/18. Already finished with my Memo I rewrite too, though that's not due until 10/04 ;alkdsjfsdf Fuck this, I WILL stay on schedule.
- Intellectual Property Journal editor's test going up on Monday; will have 3 weeks to complete it.
- Started doodling w/ pencil and paper again! Or, rather, pen and paper. Only really have time to do it during the 10 minute bus commute to campus though, so it's a slow, tedious process. Will definitely try to scan in a few pages when they've been filled some more?
- A bunch of other stuff also happened, of which I suppose were interesting, but would take too long to write down and haha, this is why I stopped blogging isn't it? Have some major issues with my roommate's lack of... a lot of things. Least of all the sense to not walk around the apartment shirtless because, ew, really did not need that eyeful of belly fat. SOMEBODY PASS THE GODDAMN EYE-BLEACH, STAT. /gouges
- In short: I am totally mercenary/spartan with myself and
nittle_grasper might be right... I must be a little masochistic. >_>
Law School is totally sucking me dry of all creativity. Think whatever remains usually end up going towards cooking/food. But speaking of food, have also been cooking almost every other night despite coming home at like, 6pm because the arrangement my roommate and I have is that he pays for the groceries and I do the cooking... he's totally profiting in this case, but I try not to dwell on it too much. Else, I'll start raging and can has no extra energy to spare for that shit. It's a good thing I enjoy cooking for the most part. :\
Been meaning to start food pr0nz-ing the shit I make, but I'm usually too tired/hungry and just skip to the eating. I REMEMBERED TO TAKE PHOTOS TODAY THOUGH! /proud
Unagi & avocado! Ran out of cucumber in the previous batch, but it's no big loss, lol. Making sushi has become one of the quickest, dirtiest meal preps. |DDD
Pan-seared egg noodles on both sides drowned in a um... 羹 (soup? thick broth?) of shrimp and vegetables. Satisfyingly crunchy and soft at the same time ♥
Will try to remember to take pictures of the view/my room next time. Also owe a package to
_hissori still. orzzzz
