OY!
I'm quite ill :-( I couldn't get to class this morning. I went to the doctor instead. I must say I was quite impressed. The doc was from LA and reminded me a lot of Lucy Liu. She had good bedside manner and gave me the appropriate tests/advice/ and free cough drops, aspirin, etc...Unfortunately I have a virus that isn't really treatable so I must stick it out. Tried to fix my computer for most of the morning while drinking tea and soup and reading the constitution. I really like constitutions and by-laws for some reason. Missed lunch with a really cool quality of life firm, I just couldn't go out in the cold. Emailed all my professors so they won't miss me. A friend brought my nyquil, which was very nice. Feeling worse and worse as the day goes on. Ugh. I went to tea with professor Goldberg, 'cause I'm really interested in her gay rights work with Lambda Legal Defense. It was a great talk. She's something of a hero to me. Had some coffee and cookies. The caffeine didn't help me. Gave me a worse headache. Since I was already dressed and out I went to the Jones Day reception in Midtown. The reception was supposed to be food and beer from around the world but it was really very similar to all the other events. I didn't like the office very much. Decent pastrami. Bad sushi. I need to learn to stop eating sushi. I'm really not a fan. I also had a german beer. St. Pauli Girl to be specific. 5 sips were a sufficient reminder to cause me to switch to San Pelligrino. I talked to some of the firm people, they were good at snagging 1Ls who were trying to hide and chat amongst themselves. Not very exciting. It was nice that they sent Lincoln Towncars to pick us up at school and drive us home but it was a very long drive because of traffic. A friend was nice enough to escort me home because I was fairly out of it. The sushi and beer didn't improve my condition in the slightest. Read some radical feminist article a friend sent me. Nice of her to send it. It was required for class. Complete sociological BS sadly. Feminism isn't headed down the right road in my opinion. Not that anyone asks for my opinion as a white male oppressor :-P I also read a few articles from the news, particularly science and academic pieces. There was a good one on the deep sea geology off of the coast of LA. I know, I'm a total nerd. Well I gotta call the parents, try to fix my computer and get some rest. Hopefully I'll be improved by morning.
