2nd Semester Week Eleven in Law School

1.) I'm going through 7's withdrawal.  If you are wondering what this has to do with Law School, this is why...

So, I marked on my calender ages ago that the PRC paper was due this past Thursday when in reality, it's due at 8:30 am on April 1st.  April 1st means 13 hours after the 7's end and Pema and I KNEW that we had to do the paper before the 7's start, otherwise we would be screwed.   Come Friday, March 30th, not one word started on this paper, and yet those Pimm's tasted so good and the fact that the Rugby players were so hot that we totally ditched the idea of staying home and working on the assignment.  Not only did I go to the 7's, I didn't even have enough self-discipline to stay home and start reading on Friday night!  Saturday came and gone and this time, I WAS discipline enough to stay home, only to be busy catching up on Scrubs episodes and reading anything I could find on www.onemanga.com.  Sunday came along and Pema and I decided to meet at 8:45am to get good South Stand seats AND to brainstorm our paper since we'd be early.  Once we sat down, we found out the U19 were playing and they were cute too!  Unfortunately, this means that we would not get anything work done... After jugs of Pimm's, Bad Vodka Redbull and chugging numerous glasses of beer in 30 degrees weather under the scorching hot sun, I was severely dehydrated, lost my voice, got sunburnt and was majorly hungover without ever getting drunk!  By the time I realized this, I had 12 hours to write the paper and was so hungover I couldn't eat or drink (yes, we hosted a dinner that night as well).  SOMEhow, I spat out those 3,000 words on Chinese Constitutional Law and pulled the most impressive all nighter I have ever done in my life.  At 8:30am yesterday morning, I had just handed in my assignment, and Pema and I were sitting at Mickey D's reminiscing about the weekend. As Pema puts it,

"The whole day, I kept "seeing" men in blond wigs, rugby balls flying around and Tonto with his Kiwis out of the corner of my eye. In my head, 'Who let the dogs out...[RUFF, RUFF, RUFFRUFF RUFF]', '[ Heyyyyyiayaya...HOO HAH]...I wanna know[ooiiiooo]...will you be my girl', etc......... all day long. God is this what Sevens withdrawal is?"

Yes Pema, this is 7's withdrawal, either that, or we were both delusional from lack of sleep because looking back, the Prof did seem to look marginally un-ugly yesterday, perhaps it's because I was "fishing" all morning in class...

1st Semester Revision Week in Law School:

Today, I accomplished what I thought was impossible, the deed that I haven't been able to do since I was 18...

I made it to EVERY SINGLE lecture and tutorial this semester. (make-up lectures/tutorials included)

I deserve a drink...
