4.07 - Catch as Catch Can
It's been awhile since I've written, but this should not imply that nothing has been going on. Quite the opposite actually, I have been busy as a bee just getting through the week. The weekend has turned into an extension of that week where I'm trying to cram work and play into hours that prove sixty minutes is just not enough.
Last Thursday was the Moot Court oral argument night at the Crawford County courthouse. Stacey and I went in sort of blind and I ended up shooting from the hip because I had no clue what was going on...at any rate, that's over. And I made a new friend, so good for me. My brief was shoddy work and my argument was mainly expository, still, I had some fun with it.
Well, as one door closes, another opens. I was appointed to be the committee chair for Springfest on the Attractions/Volunteer committee. Overacheiving sucks. This will be over by April sometime. GAP Casino Night was last night and I was a dealer. I had fun with that. People get all kind of weird for play money. It's a real reflection on the distortion of our society when I'm getting hit on for green pieces of paper. It was fun and I got to hang out with some cool people through it all.
I talked to Chessy about my desire to start smoking for a reason to be outside. She set me straight. Or so she thought. Now, I'm just going to get a lot of smoker friends and spend time with them.
In my meager spare time, I've been thinking about grad school. I'm torn between getting a J.D. or a Ph.D. I want both, but can't have both. Each has possibility and promise, but the other always has one trumping feature. I'll just keep going forward and it'll resolve itself in time.
I got a haircut today. It's short again. I'll dye it tomorrow.
I made a list of possible houses to see and on Monday I'm going to schedule appointments to view the houses. I'll likely end up in a position to have two housemates next year. And a dog. I'm giving serious thought to getting a dog. Name it Merlin. Then, when I'm jogging around campus and hot sorority girls see me they'll go "It's Arthur and Merlin!" It'll totally score me points. Or maybe I just want a dog for the same reason I want to adopt a kid, I just want something to distract me from the fact that I'm romantically alone and likely to remain so. I'm beginning to think she isn't coming.
Well, I have tests to prepare for, a comedian to set up for, dinner, and a couple other Saturday night issues. I'm already booked solid through Sunday night, which is bad. Still, I can't really envision my life any other way.
