Palestinian Terrorist Speaker
So I haven't blogged in a while...here's an update. I went to breakfast yesterday with the dean of the law school and Steven D. Gutterman ’95, Executive Vice President of Retail Banking at E*Trade. Not very exciting sadly. Had a senate meeting at lunch. Not very exciting either. I met with my ACS mentor for coffee by Fordham at the starbucks on 67th and Columbus. Talked for 2 hours about stuff. It was ok, but not much came of it.
Today was even busier. I was really tired and out of it for some reason. I must be waking up n the night multiple times and not remembering in the morning. It was nearly impossible to concentrate in class. I had lunch with professor Suchman who does environmental law. She may be able to put me in touch with some people at the UN who can get me a job this summer. I'll cross my fingers. After class I went to the Hungarian Pastry Shop on 110th and Amsterdam for a discussion of an article written by professor Tribe at Harvard. There were about 5 of us there from ACS. I got a tasty chocolate pastry thing and some peppermint tea. Then it was off to Lenfest Cafe for a PILF mixer. I found only 1 person who had worked for the UN. She didn't sound optimistic about my chances. Left the mixer at 5 to go hear an ex-terrorist speak. He grew up learning the Holocaust never happened and that Jews are evil. Then he became a Palestinian terrorist. Was involved in some bombings. Got thrown in prison. Now he is a pro-Israel speaker. I still found him creepy and scary. He had a violent aura about him. It isn't everyday you meet people you realize are capable of murder. Not a guy I would want to hang out with in spite of his current pro-Israel, anti-terror views. Good speaker though.After that it was about 8 and I had to go to Journal of Gender and Law to proof some article and eat pizza. Now its time to write up resumes and maybe get to homework before midnight. Rough day.
