Start of Firm Receptions
Went to classes yesterday and did the whole law student thing. I guess that's why I'm here. Had my groceries delivered in the afternoon. Yay for food. Found a partner for moot court and after lots of back and forth came to an agreement on what our top 3 choices should be for brief topics. Hooray for the fruits of negotiation. We got some pizza at Koronets and then I went to Amsterdam Billiards on 76th st for a reception with Kirkpatrick & Lockhart. It wasn't that great. Had a glass of rose wine, nibbled a couple appetizers, played a game of pool and left for a JGL meeting at 8 with a couple other tardy journal members. The meeting was also a waste of time, just received the semester calendar and signed up for a new article. Played online poker until about midnight, read a little and went to sleep. This morning the maid came and cleaned for 3 hours. I still don't like having a maid. I much prefer to do my own cleaning. Oh well. When in Rome and all that...My roomates can't seem to handle cleaning. I'll just chip in my 20 bucks and deal. It's only 1 more semester anyway. Now if only I could find a job and move into Lenfest...
I took a long stroll up in Harlem this afternoon after classes. I had to go to the bank and the nearest one is on 125th and several blocks East. It's weird walking down a street and not seeing another white person for blocks. Everyone is black or latino. I like the change of atmosphere though. On my way back I went through Morningside park which proably isn't the smartest idea. It's a high crime zone after dark and it was twilight at the time. Oh well. Nothing happened. I did a little work and then ate dinner at my place. A toasted bagel with peanut butter and some reheated leftover pasta from a couple days ago. Then I went to a reception with Chadbourne & Parke. It was at Radio Perfecto. I expected just drinks and appetizers but they actually had a full dinner. I felt dumb for eating beforehand but I ate again anyway. They had salmon and I'm always hungry anyway. I also had a mudslide, jack and coke, and a whiskey sour. The whiskey sour was the best of the three I think. I'm sure I'll have many opportunities to try new drinks in the coming weeks. Now I guess it's time to send out some more resumes and get my job situation together a bit more.
