I'm on a boat

Combo entry time. Yesterday was Wednesday. I went to work EARLY because we were going to the High Court for a case. However, getting there early was incredibly stupid because we just sat around and did nothing for a really long time. It was really boring and I was tired from the disaster the night before. Then eventually the solicitor came and picked me and Roxy up and our client. She drove us to the High Court. While waiting I got very familiar with the case and the procedures because there was so much time. It was good to read some actual legal writing and hopefully it will be good for my resume and interview ability.

The High Court was boring. The barristers bowed at the judge twice whenever entering or leaving the room. Barristers also wear robes and wigs like Harry Potter ish! The case wasn't too interesting, but it was a learning experience.

Oh and the whole time it was raining and miserable and my pants were too long and got way wet and it was gross! After the trial we walked to the Luas and headed back to school. Class was alright--I think that my professor ran out of things to say because she talked so fast in the first few days.

Next we had like a dinner cook out! I made hamburgers and Melissa made pasta. It was cool hanging out, but the kitchen was way to hot. After it was time for desert and we got milkshakes at Eddie Rockets. Tasty.

When we got back I didn't really have anything to do so I went to go hang out with our floormates while they played Monopoly. Drunk kids are funny. Such an intense violent game!

Some Grey's and then sleep.

Today I was woken up by a phone call. It was my boss telling us that we had to be somewhere a half hour earlier and at a place that takes longer to get to. It was pretty intense. I rushed down to Roxy's room and had to wake her up. We rushed and made a bus. Walked really fast and actually made it to the RAT on time! Too bad when we get there the client doesn't show so the case was adjourned. Boo. Luckily we didn't just go there for nothing--there was a hearing at 10. That case actually happened, but it wasn't a good case.

Headed home and had lunch. Good nap! I've been watching tv shows during my spare time and I am enjoying some of the downtime. Class got out way early today! She definitely ran out of things to say! Whatever. I am still figuring out if I am dropping my next class. Too much reading.

Then we went to a street performer festival at a park downtown. It was pretty cool and free. Only got rained on once.




Magician!

Rainbow we saw walking up to the dorms.

The street performers were mostly just comedians which was pretty great. Really funny! Headed back and cooked dinner. So now just relaxing because early morning to go on the tour tomorrow!
