trial ad college: i’ve got some good news, and some bad news

so part of the way the whole thing works is that we get put into small groups of 8 or so, which they say are selected to put you in a group with a similar level of trial experience. so my big question before today was whether that meant that we students would be put in groups together, or if we would all be divvied out amongst the other groups. i thought the latter way would be a good way for us to learn from one another, but it also intimidated the hell out of me.

so the good news is that our groups are all students. and the even better news is that even the students in my group don’t scare me!

the bad news is that our groups are all students. see, molly and i had concluded that this might be another husband-meeting opportunity. she pointed out that these probably wouldn’t be all old men, but would be a number of young, good-looking attorneys who are sent here by their firm for some CLE. and, i would like to say that molly was right. (of course, this is another example of how i find attractive to be something totally different than most women, since rada, jana, and court were all talking about how there were no good-looking young attorneys, whereas i thought caplin auditorium was swimming in cuties.) (if you would like further examples, the boy i thought to be the best looking boy in the c/o 2001 at BC was called “dying seaweed boy” by my roommates, b/c they said that he looked like the mermen in the little mermaid after ursula sucked their souls out of them and they shriveled up into seaweed. there is an even better example in who i think is the cutest boy in the c/o 2007 at the LS but i am not posting that on my blog, but ask me and i may tell you, but you would have to be hush-hush about it.) anyways, the thing is that i will not be able to wrap my tentacles around any of these young hot lawyer types in the next week b/c i will be with a group of 7 people i already know. which is also fine.

other tidbits from the day: coconut cookies are delicious! i could not for the life of me tell what they were and so i had all the other trial ad participants taste pieces of the cookie, so as to determine what this “generic” cookie was. coconut was the consensus and i would recommend it highly. if you are in charge of some law school event in the future, GET COCONUT COOKIES! then invite me.

and eli and i went grocery shopping briefly at the new kroger. not only did i point out to him the princess and pirate cakes, but i also succumbed and bought the blueberry stilton. i am not sure i would recommend blueberry stilton, but if i could manage to get the plastic off of it further, i imagine it might be one of those tastes that is offensive at first, but which i will soon grow to love, and within minutes there will be no more blueberry stilton. i’ll keep you posted on all forthcoming developments regarding my taste for blueberry stilton.

finally, the pizza at darden sucks. glad i could help.

There's nothing wrong with finding people attractive... makes life easier, really. Besides, those girls have impossible standards. Don't listen to them, little Laura! You just keep on liking your quirky boys...

I agree with anonymous, finding quirky boys attractive is A-OK. It only matters that you find them attractive. Anyhoo, that being said, I do find it hilarious that your friends referred to a guy as "dying seaweed man" in college. That's very witty for BC kids.
