I just got back from a little 5.5-hour get together (not everybody lasted quite that long) with a few peeps from my law school class, and it was a fantastic time. In the process, I learned something a little disturbing, which is that I seem to be a closet celebrity. Not so much in the "everybody likes and respects me" sort of vein, though there may be a few, but more in the "following my weblog has become a good way to avoid studying" sort of way.
Seriously, at the bar I found out that there are apparently a lot of people in my class who follow my weblog. I must admit that I'm a little surprised at this. I always sort of approached it as one of those things that I figured was possible, but not likely. And here I find out that out of about six people or so at the table, most of them followed it, at least casually. I have no reason to think that this is not the case generally.
As an aside, I promised one of my classmate-peeps that he'd get a mention, so if anyone ever gets the chance to hang with Preston, do so. He's great to go out with.
Other than that, tonight I had a chance to hang out with some other cool compatriots (yeah, Preston, others are cool too) and had some nice coversations.
Can you tell we had a final today? The last one is on Thursday: another one hour test (like today), but essay rather than multiple choice (today). After that, it will nice to be done. Monday: New Orleans for 2.5 weeks.
Anyway, here's to hoping that some of y'all will start to comment a bit, even anonymously. I'd love to hear from you. For some reason, I feel like the class knows way more about me than I do about them, which is a shame because I like all of them. So please, do share! That's about it for today. I need to get some rest so I can get busy avoiding Torts tomorrow. Later.
Last night was a blast, but I feel like hell today. Studying is not going to be any fun. Once more into the breach.
Who knew your private little corner of the universe was so popular. WTG you! Almost makes me wanna go back and see what I have said in the comments. Nothing too incriminating I hope.
The funny thing is that you were just worried about the profs finding you. :D
Oh, I don't know if I was particularly worried, but I definitely thought about the profs more than the students. I suppose it really never occurred to me that anyone would be interested in what I had to say other than, "Hey, Prof. Torts, you should see what this crazy 1L said about you on the internet!"
Also, props to Matt for commenting. I myself am heading into the causation, maybe with a little detour into the duty.
I hate to bring this up but Cory was really disappointed that he did not get mentioned in your blog about Friday nights adventure. If you could just drop his name next time you post I am sure that he would apperciate it. At random in the middle of a sentence will probably do the trick.
Oh, I can manage that. Besides, I have a little present for him that I'm sure will induce his forgiveness.
Kevin, I hear you. Jake, Ron and Nick were also a little dissapointed that they were left out of the post. They even spent Friday night with Mackenzie, in addition to Tuesday. All three of them really thought they were going to make headlines. I felt they were a little sad when they read the blog yesterday...I really believe their feelings were hurt. Mackenzie, could you find it in your heart to mention them sometime...it would really do something for their moral. Thanks...
I was out on Friday and Tuesday night? I vaguely remember possibly being there on Friday, but Tuesday? Wait. I was there. I blame preston.
I don't know, it looks like you've done an admirable job of mentioning most everybody. But, I will include them all on my next post.
