Impact Training
I finished up my contracts reading in the morning yesterday so now I have to do Civ Pro and Torts. Oh, and write a 10 page memo. And read and critique a 40 page article for the Journal of Gender and Law. Yikes. Today will be busy. Anyway, yesterday afternoon I did Impact training, learning how to be a poll monitor. I'm going to Pennsylvania on election day to make sure African Americans and other minority voters aren't wrongly disenfranchised. The training was actually pretty boring and useless. There were speaches from a couple deans, the head of the NAACP Legal Defense, and some other random people. Nothing too exciting though. After that I tried to get some work done while eating my leftover gnochi but I kept getting distracted. Ended up just going for a walk with a friend. Then it was time for a pizza dinner with the JLSA at Cafe Roma. No funding though, we all had to buy our own. Then we went to a really lame country bar. Not a good event. Only like 10 people even showed. Sadness. So I started walking back with a couple other 1Ls who felt the event was sufficiently lame (we were on 80th so it was 25 blocks), and on 110th we found some of our friends at another bar so we stopped in to say hi. Turned out to be some kind of happy hour or sometheing, $2.50 well drinks, which is the cheapest I've seen them in Manhattan. We stayed for quite a while and I walked home alone at about 1AM. I was going to get some work done, but once again I was distracted. I got a little further on registering to vote in NY but I started getting a zillion IMs and all productivity ceased. In the end I wrote up by-laws for a new Jewish group, which some friends are creating for budgetary purposes and I didn't finish until 3AM. Why do I always end up drafting by-laws? Hehe, kind of random.
