Tests, Rugby and Costumes. Oh my!

Well, I had quite the entertaining week and I’ll try and recap if I can remember the whole thing… Actually I can’t really distinguish the beginning of the week from the previous weeks so this is basically about Thursday on.

Torts:
All of my entertaining stories are about Torts. You may remember me talking about a joke contest in Torts. Well, I submitted my joke. I will be the first to admit that it was probably in poor taste, but I thought my prof would enjoy it. She did and I got a book and a bag full of candy on Friday. Yay for Torts! Also, my prof apologized once again in class for implying that I had presented the wrong case.

Class that is the bane of my existence:
I don’t feel comfortable mentioning much about this class, because I wouldn’t be surprised if the professor was monitoring this blog. But since the confidentiality agreement is over. THAT WAS THE WORST HOUR OF MY LIFE! Seriously, that “test” was ridiculous! There was no need to march us into the class two at a time. There was also no need to march up and down the rows glaring at our answer sheets. AHHHH! Okay, I’ve probably said too much.

Contracts:
The same day as the aforementioned test we had a contracts practice test. It went okay, although I was completely brain-drained by the time I took it. I did manage to write an entire paragraph about the “fairness” of the contract. That should earn me a few points. Yay for liberal contracts profs!

Rugby:
We had our last game of the semester this weekend. I was hoping to post pictures but His chickened out and refused to take his gloves off so he could take pictures. I’m sure it was tough for him to stand on the sidelines with the puddles and all.

If you had caught the news recently the Northeast was in the middle of a torrential downpour. But Rugby is played rain or shine. So we bundled up at 6:30am to drive the three hours to Vermont Law School for a match. It would have been a beautiful drive if I could have seen anything through the rain. We got to the pitch about 10:30 or so. The guys Rugby team was just starting their game. We stood around and huddled, trying to stay warm, but then it was our turn to go out into the deluge.

It was a really fun game, even though we lost. We’re terrible though, so I’m not at all surprised. I did however become a one woman wrecking crew. I channeled the previous mentioned “class that is the bane of my existence” and used that anger on the pitch [field]. The game was muddy, physical and a blast. Unfortunately I’m too old and inexperienced to be playing rugby which my body is telling me today. I have the mother of all bruises on my knee and can’t move much, but don’t worry mom His is taking good care of me.

Halloween Party
Albany Law had their Halloween party last night. We got back to our apartment at 6:00 pm and made it to the party around 8:00. I can not believe how creative the costumes were. His and I went as “the married couple”; the costumes were easy. Some of our favorite costumes:

  • The Spanish Inquisition
  • Pac Man & the Ghost (they took turns chasing each other)
  • Two American Gladiators: One was assault, the other battery
  • Displaced Tree Fairy (Since all of the trees at our school have been cut down)
  • Sam Adams & St. Paulie’s girl (because they read our blog)

Anyway, it was a great party with lots of beer and we only made it to 9:00. I’ve spent the whole day in bed and hobbling around the apartment.

How do you dress as a married couple?

P.S. At least there are no walls on the rugby field for you to run into. Are their goalposts?

Well one dresses as the "married couple" by going in the "married couple's" closet and putting on whatever is clean and doesn't require ironing.

There are goal posts at the beginning of the tri-zone (endzone for lay person). However as His has pointed out our team sucks and we are never in position where the goal posts could harm us. Well, there is the drink up, but thats a whole other post.
