I'll Check My Schedule...

So I survived the first week of school. It isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Actually, I kind of enjoyed it. That probably means I'm getting dorkier by the minute…and paying for it too. Everyday we get these emails to our school email accounts about the different events at the law school. Here are my options for the next few days:

SBA Lunch
This is a lunch for anyone interested in running for student bar association representative for their "pod". For example, if I were SBA rep for the green pod (why isn't there a pink pod?) I would plan a bunch of social activities for the evening students (with a budget, strike one. This isn’t the MBA program) and then hang out by myself because the evening students are all too busy to attend. The benefits to attending the lunch are that they provide free sandwiches and beer. Hmmm…offer free tacos and a mojito, and maybe we'll talk

Bike Commute Challenge
Do I really need to say anything? Do people know that we have had the automobile around for quite a few years now? Not to mention, Gena would likely never speak to me again if she were to see me on the road riding a bike. Let's pretend that's why I'm not a cyclist.

Open House, The Center for Animal Law Studies
Every bathroom stall on campus has this big green sign on the door advertising this event and the sign specifically mentions "yummy vegan treats" will be served. Now I know that there is no such thing as a yummy vegan treat. Yummy treats are made with lots of eggs and milk and stuff that is really bad for you. Stuff that vegans don't eat. I've decided not to support an organization that lies to me. They should just say "many of us are vegans so all we can serve are some cookies that are made without eggs. Sorry about this. We are just trying to be nice to the animals and do the whole 'I'm all about nature' thing. Come see our new space." I do like animals, my little dog is the cutest thing ever, but I'm fairly certain she wouldn't even eat a vegan treat.

SALDF (Student Animal Legal Defense Fund) First Meeting
I've only been in law school for a week, but I have absolutely no idea why we need to have a defense fund for animals. Sure, my dog isn't perfect (she's close though:)), but I know she doesn't break the law. And if she did, I don't think I'd be hiring defense counsel for her. Who are these criminal animals? I don't think a horse is entitled to due process. How do you defend an animal anyway? You see, Your Honor, my client,Fluffy, was actually trying to save the little birdy that fell from the tree, when, in due course she inadvertently sunk her teeth into the little bird's neck. It is apparent from the fact that she left bird on her owner's doorstep, that she was not trying to cover up the crime, but was reaching out for help. I'd rather ride my bike to school.

Latino Law Society First General Meeting
This sounds fun. I'm not sure I am qualified to attend, even though I have a lovely, long, Hispanic last name. Too bad. I bet they serve tacos and mojitos...
