Daffnee

It was my neighbour/classmate's birthday yesterday, and he was having a depressive moment when he didn't want to turn 25 while reading Contracts so a friend and I presented him with a cupcake and cookies at midnight. (Her idea, not mine -- I was more than willing to wait till morning!) Happy birthdays dissolved quickly into a heated debate on 1) Israel, which was educational but something I could contribute not at all to; 2) the use of critical theory in the "real" world; and 3) my own personal value system and moral relativism. People tend not to like that last one too much.

The next morning was one hour spent watching a class of 28's eyes glaze over while our Lawyering professor enthusiastically tried to teach us how to look up cases on online databases, and two hours listening to too many questions dealing with different combinations of roofers, roofs, and contracts. My room's been sweltering since they turned on central heating, so I spent the afternoon sweating and swimming; dinner with a bunch of loosely associated people was engaging, but overpriced. Conceded to roomie and went to a club with her, aforementioned friend, 3 gay guys and a lesbian; was quickly turned off the experience by one creepy guy who apparently had a thing for Asians, and bailed as they were planning to continue bar-hopping.

I don't get these club things.
