UGH runners

Runners have inconvenienced me twice today. So first of all, I was on the bus home from school when we hit crazy traffic, and then I saw all these people milling around wearing running gear and team shirts with numbers and shit. After a little googling when I got home, I realized it was the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge today. The fact that it raises money for charities does little to make me feel better about having to sit on the bus for 30 minutes longer than necessary.

THEN when I was walking home from the train, I was listening to some sweet jams on my ipod and walking along like a normal person, swinging my arm slightly when a jogger literally ran crotch-first INTO my hand as he tried to pass me. My reaction: "whoops THAT's not supposed to be in my hand." needless to say, it was awkward. I think we can all agree that it was definitely not my fault that I basically sexually assaulted a random gentleman in broad daylight.

*Apologies to Lauren and all who are pro-running. You guys are weird. :)

last law class ever.

Life in the law: where we took an entire quarter to come to the conclusion that we can't really define it. We just made a giant loop and discussed hot-button topics! So much fun, but also had some horrifyingly annoying people in it. I'm looking at YOU, girl who looks like the girl in the white stripes.

OMG I'M DONE!

I had sex with Jim Morrison at UCLA

I was just at trivia and we WON! We KILLED our nemesis, the Oscar Wildcats (I KNOW SO STUPID), by a LOT and they ran away with their tails between their legs. HA. Our prize: a pitcher of beer, a round of shots, and a gift certificate to the bar. Victory beer is so much more delicious than normal beer.

Our team name was "I had sex with Jim Morrison at UCLA" because in the picture round something amazing happened. We had to name the school each pictured celebrity went to, and we had NO idea who the gentleman even was. I was like "is it like morrison or something?" but it wasn't a real suggestion and I was just throwing it out there. Anyway, we knew a lot of the other ones, but we didn't even know who the guy was. Here is the picture they used:

It doesn't look like him at all! At least not the iconic picture of him. Anyway, we just randomly guessed UCLA and it turned out to be RIGHT! We always pick a team name that incorporates either an annoying question that we didn't get, or an amazing feat of totally pulling an answer out of our asses and getting it right. Thus, I had sex with Jim Morrison at UCLA. It's especially funny because every time the guy reads out the winners, he has to be like "And the winner tonight is I had sex with Jim Morrison at UCLA. Blah blah blah, congratulations I had sex with Jim Morrison at UCLA. You can come collect your prize at the bar." [PS The guy who runs trivia is this total cutie who unFORCH is recently engaged, we just learned, but I am holding out hope that one of us marries him. Trivia themed wedding!]

MMMM victory tequila shot. It's making my Korean homework go a LOT faster.

BOOYAH

So I know that outdated phrase from the 90s seems out of place, but I can't help it. The fact that most of my friends are going nuts doing papers while I JUST found out that I don't have to do my 25-page paper for Life in the Law, and instead only have to write another 8 page (aka 6 page with wonky margins) paper for Art Law, is making me feel alive again. Yes I WILL renew my lease on life THANKYOUverymuch.

Also, the graduation ceremony for law school is called "hooding." Doesn't that sound like some sort of creepy KKK initiation ceremony?

Dirty picture?

I have been on a tv binge, and it is amazing. What did people DO before the internet? I remember one time the power went out and i couldn't do anything except just go to bed. at 8pm. People on the prairie must have been the most well-rested folks ever! Except for the whole...scarlet fever and mountain lions trying to murder you thing. ANYway. In the past two weeks, I have managed to catch up on two and a half seasons of Chuck, almost two seasons of Fringe, and a season and a half of Castle. Chuck is hysterical because this guy is in it:

A+ for casting!

Also, I HIGHLY recommend Castle. Nathan Fillion is beyond hysterical. Next on my list: Dr. Who and Firefly. I LOVE TV.

Holy Crap

Holy crap it's been a LONG time since I've posted! To be fair, I was on spring break and then in a coma (aka in bed binge-watching tv) for the last week, which was coincidentally also the first week of school. WHOOPS. Here is a brief update: I went to costa rica (water rafting = weird sunburns on the tops of my forearms and thighs, a "hysterical" ziplining story that I will share upon request, and going to a romantic getaway with a group of 10 girls), then I went to LA (drinking, cookie dough, excessive mario karting). Then I got back and collapsed into a coma because I was so exhausted. Then I emerged, randomly decided to watch all of Chuck (the NBC show about the computer nerd spy), and here we are. One week and 2+ seasons later...no work done: I've done 5/160 pages of reading for my seminar in 1.5 hours. It is mathematically impossible for me to finish the reading. I literally only have class two days a week and I am STRUGGLING to make it to school by noon. This is so sad.

THAT was like a week ago. Now i'm sitting in my room, watching Archer (a HYSTERICAL show that I wholeheartedly recommend) and writing a Korean essay about the jurisdictional problems that come with the new internet age. I'm literally looking up every other word on some sketchy dictionary I found online, and I'm sure I'm doing the same thing that we make fun of Asians for in translations. Like this.

OH WELL.
