I must admit, I had a pretty good time last night. Is that allowed to law students? It must be, because apart from a little transportation snafu, I had a pretty good time.
My friend J. asked me if I wanted to go to Ft. Collins (for those out of Wyoming, it's the closest town of any size in Colorado - and another college town, but a bit hipper) to eat some Ethiopian food. Ethiopian is not a style of cuisine I had previously sampled. I was at first a little skeptical about whether I would have the time, but eventually I figured, "screw it, I'll probably only live once."
Eventually, I found myself eating. For the uninitiated, you get a platter of food with a bowl full of bread, or with a bunch of the bread under the food, that you share with those around the little table at which you find yourself. The bread is really a lot like a pancake, but the flavor is a bit tangy. You're meant to tear off pieces of the bread and grab a bite with the bread. I was stuffed, and for those who know me, that's not a small feat.
Of course, the company was excellent, too.
Bottom line: if you find yourself to be a law student, take some time to go out and do something fun. It might be a new style of food, or it might be going out for a drink with some old friends you haven't seen in years. Either way, do something.
