Wait, I can still act like I'm an undergrad?

Hi!

So sorry for not updating in a while. I wish I had an excuse, but really I'm too lazy to think of one in lieu of well...being lazy. Sorry I'm not sorry.

The past year was my first year in law school (duh) and it was hard (duh, again). However, I knew the academics were going to be challenging, but I didn't realize that people were going to be lame when we went out. To be fair, there were some really fun nights. Obviously one of which was my birthday party, which was an 80's karaoke night. It was the biggest party of the fall semester and it took place on a Wednesday. People are really obsessed with me mostly because I sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler...twice. One of which was the Old School version. However, we go to a lot of smokey, dive bars where people talk about school and teachers. Gross.

Law school has a range of different ages so it's natural that there would be a pretty significant divide in social behavior at big functions. By "significant divide" I mean the young ones like myself you just graduated undergraduate the year before would get substantially intoxicated. I expected certain comments, but never people questioning your moral turpitude (vocab gold star goes to ME) or your intelligence. Just because I can beat you in chugging Irish Car Bomb doesn't mean I don't know more than you about felony murder (because I do).

So blah blah blah law school people judge me blah blah. I felt I had lost my mojo. With a random epiphany, I have become interested in moving to D.C. after graduation and found a Diversity job fair at the end of July because I'm Mexican and a female I got doubly invited. Word. Coincidentally my college roommate Keegan lives there now, so it was an excuse to go visit her.

After my job fair Keegan and I went to happy hour with buckets of beer, and then met up with her boyfriend and his friends to play a late 90's, early millennium pop power hour followed by 3 hours of beer pong. This was followed the following evening by another power hour (all Britney Spears) and drinks in Maryland. Even when I had to fly out Monday morning, Sunday was filled with sand volleyball, celebratory drinks, and yes....another power hour. It was probably the best weekend I've had in a really long time because for once I was joking around about how cool Limp Bizkit used to be and how one of the guys had a playlist from college entitled "No one's straight in 2008" compiled mostly of Cascada techno music.

So, I've decided to pursue this lifestyle and move to D.C. after graduation. Or at least save up money to visit people who don't suck.

K thanks (LOVE YOU) bye!

P.S. I can drink 14 beers and still wake up at 10 the next morning to do activities. I wish I could say I was proud of this fact, but alas drinking is going to be expensive until I rope in some guy to buy my drinks for me.
