I know, I know, I know! A blog is something that is supposed to be kept up. Well I am sorry. I have had quite a lot to deal with lately. Over the past 2 to 3 weeks I have fallen ill and fallen victim to Moot Court. I hate Moot Court! I have only done it once before, during my first year in law school and event then I vowed that I would never set foot in the moot court room again. I don't know if I am just a sucker for torture, or whether I just forgot what torture it was, but I again found myself staring down the wrong end of a Judge's glare. I always feel so inferior up on the stand. No matter how much I try, I am never able to live up to the expectations of the judges. I either walk into one of their traps or my answer only covers half of what they want. This isn't the only time that I have felt unprepared or out of my league in law school. Through out this entire year I have felt detached from the law school. I don't know if my priorities have changed or if I am just neglecting my studies out of selfishness. Don't get me wrong, I am keeping up with my work and I know what is going on in class, but I have just not achieved everything that I want to achieve. I want to write a digest article for the sports and entertainment society, I want to ace my exams, and I desperately want to secure an internship for the summer, but I do not know if I will be able to do any of them.
Now that I have finished complaining about the little things in life, I can get to the good stuff. This past weekend Betsy and I were lucky enough to have a house full of friends. On Friday night Betsy's friends, who are also my friends, Lindsey and Paige drove from Nashville to visit us for a day. I was so happy that they were able to come, because I knew that Betsy really needed to see her friends from home. During their visit Betsy and I took them on a tour of Memphis. I always love having company over, because it means that I have an excuse to eat whatever I want. First stop on the cholesterol express? Gibson's Doughnuts! That's right I went for broke and loved every minute of it! After Gibson's we went to Mud Island, where we played scrabble for an hour or two. I have to say that I am pretty proud of my scrabble skills. When I first started playing I could barely score above 56 points, now I am able to at least score a hundred points every game. Unfortunately, I lost to Paige High, who pulled off a last minute 30 point hail mary. I really enjoyed having both Lindsey and Paige over and I was sad to see them head back to Nashville.Later on that night Kevin and his girlfriend Alison came over to carve pumpkins and watch Hocus Pocus. I have to say I am very impressed with Alison's knowledge of everything Hocus Pocus. She was able to quote the entire movie. With everything going on between Friday and Saturday, Sunday was a nice respite. Betsy and I stayed home all day. We both sat on the couch; catching up on the things that we had neglected over the weekend. Needless to say I am not ready for this week, but hopefully things will start to pick up. Pray for me, because I definitely need all the help I can get.
