My Full Friday (and Thursday to a lesser extent)

Maybe not doom-filled, but utterly insane for sure.

On Thursday, I went to the APALSA Banquet from 5:30 to 8:30 when I should have been working on my trial brief that was due the next day. I was running in the special election for Banquet Chair. Had I submitted my desire to run on time, I would have been uncontested and made it for sure. But alas I didn't, and I ran against the girl who lost for the President position, and she won. That's ok, I still had a blast!

Finished my trial brief at 3 a.m. that night and went to bed. I woke up at 7 to shower and took a cab to school, printed my trial brief and took a cab to the Daley Center for my second shift at the expungement help desk (see previous post for details). It was not as peachy as the last shift, and I made some stupid little mistakes and asked some stupid questions and I think the supervising attorney I worked with this time was NOT impressed. That's ok, I have another shift on Wednesday where I will be less sleep deprived.

Then I went to class from 1:00 to 2:45 where we got a little competitive in a quiz about how to correctly cite things based on The BlueBook (also known as Satan's handiwork). My team was called Trivia Newton John and we came in at a solid second. I got a KitKat out of it which was good. The awesome news NO MORE WRITING ANYTHING FOR LEGAL WRITING CLASS TILL FALL SEMESTER.

Then I had my welcome reception at 5 o'clock for the ACC Internship at DLA Piper (again, see previous post). I thought it was business casual attire but a former intern recommended I go in a suit, so between 2:45 and 5:00 I purchased a suit, ironed it, put on makeup, and made it to DLA Piper in time. They had great a great Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food spread, and all of the attorneys were really nice and so accomplished. It was a little intimidating. Unfortunately the attorney from Accenture, where I want to work, wasn't there. Which is too bad because apparently he's Indian and runs an orphanage in Africa, so we would have had plenty to talk about.

Anxiously waiting my internship placement!

In other news, I have lost my CTA UPass, in addition to my DePaul I.D.

Have to write about the Barrister's Ball and the insanity of this week...next post. Coming soon.
