I actually had a fairly relaxed weekend. It was quite a shock.
My brief had been turned in for revision, and I had a lull in law review work, so I could actually settle down and not do any real work on Saturday (aside from a bit of TA stuff). So I shelled peanuts while reading law review articles for fun--I know, that's just how I roll.
Then, I made peanut butter from the peanuts. They weren't freshly roasted, but the end product was still really good. I've been eating peanut butter and honey sandwiches. They're delicious.
Anyway, Saturday evening, we had the "Law Ball" at our local school. This is an annual ritual that seems to have moved from precisely what it sounds like (i.e., a formal event with dinner and dancing) to being precisely what it sounds like with a lot of alcohol mixed in. The effect is interesting. I'm not saying who, but there was some table dancing goin' on toward the end of the night.
Anyway, I drove for a group and had an excellent time, and--unlike, I would guess, some of my fellow students--I was able to get up at 7 am to get some work done. Work that included getting my reading done for the week. For the record, the last two years I was definitely not able to get up at this time the next day.
Anyway, I like weeks that begin with all my reading done. Now I get a chance to focus on the other work that I expect to start piling on tomorrow.
