Surprise Justice - April 14, 2008

Monday could not have come sooner. I feel sick for even pondering those words. However, my Saturday City adventures yielded unhappiness to the point where I had no choice but to circulate those thoughts.

A friend’s girlfriend with whom I have become relatively friendly was having her birthday celebration. She specifically requested my presence, who knows why, so I obliged by leaving my studies and suiting up for a good night in the city.

The place we ended up hosted the best house band I have ever heard, and was a lot of fun. The fun part occurred when I had three full cups and bottles of beer (all different kinds) spilled on me. The eau de beer was amazing. It was the most exciting bath I have ever taken. Three times.

On the way home, I fell asleep on the train and missed my stop by one exit. I would have missed it by more than one stop, but a gaggle of young inebriated ladies roared as they entered the train. I scurried off as quickly as I could, quite dismayed at the newly created conundrum.

I made it home in time for Monday.

M was finally called on in Property. Whereas I had been selected in the beginning of the semester, M has sat quietly until today. The kicker was that the professor spoke the great majority of time. Life is never fair.

During class, an email was delivered reminding members of the legal fraternity with which I had become associated that there was a meeting during which elected for next year’s officers would be held at noon. After class had concluded, I walked straight to the meeting. We sat down, and the current president discussed election procedures and the job description of each.

To make a long story very short, ten minutes later I was elected the President (known as the Justice). One of my favorite people was elected Vice Justice immediately after. He is a very hard working and reliable guy. Then, things became worth the added responsibility.

Cute girl from yester-year was elected Secretary (known as the Clerk) and cute-girl’s very cute and very single friend was elected Treasurer (known as the Treasurer). Insert chuckle here.

As the other positions were elected, the board was formed into a very strong element. I am quite happy with the decisions that were made, and should have a fun year.

A few hours later a few hundred students crowded into the large classroom for the mandatory Law Review meeting where it was revealed that I needed to change a flight I booked one month prior because my flight was taking off right as competition packets could be picked up. Basically, I would be at a severe disadvantage were I to not show up in person. An explanation of the competition shall occur after finals.

Oral arguments for my appellate advocacy class take place tomorrow morning. I am really excited for the exercise in oral advocacy. It is something in which I have been looking forward to taking part.

Back to life. Where life equals studying, reading and preparing.
