After a day of studying at Panera, I end up getting dinner with Andrew and Courtney, Rebecca’s friends. We swap some fun stories over sushi at Daruma, the quintessential Great Neck joint.

After 6-7 hours of studying with people on campus, it’s time to hang with CNF. I drive to Brooklyn and meet up with Michael, Scott, Tom, and Jon at Atlantic Chip Shop. We get stuffed on some fried fish and potato goodness. We then go to this amazing place called “Boat Bar.” Just a sick place.
Life is just too good and I’m enjoying being out with my boys. We somehow come up with this douchey move saying “Titties” and knocking a table with your knuckles down. Great idea.
Bolanos shows up and I tell him getting a Miller Hi Life for $3. There’s a leftover bottle on the table and I rep it real hard, “Look at that bottle! Sick bottle.” Bolanos replies, “You can’t get enthusiasm like that anywhere.”
Exactly dammit! Even if it’s about the aesthetics of a stupid beer bottle, there’s nobody that lives things like I do. I’m happy about everything and enthusiastic about life. Even with finals coming up, I can wreck it and I’m currently out with my favorite people, so what the hell, enjoy it.
We even up going back to CN Tower for a little bit and then calling it a night.

At night, we decide to go to the Lower East Side. I drive Bolanos and Evan in. Driving this weekend is a good die as I can get work done the next day. We meet up with Jon, Stefan, Elena, and Becky. I’m rocking my sombrero out for Cinco De Mayo like a boss. Alon and Sara end up meeting us. We go to Schiller’s Liquor Bar, which I’ve wanted try this place for a while. Bolanos on his way there complains about how he likes shitty places. When we’re at Schiller’s, after a while, I joke that I agree with him to some extent. The girls here are just too high caliber. I don’t have a chance. Freaking long legged, modelly types walking in and out.
I actually really like the place and rock a bottle of the “Cheap” wine. Evan, Alon, and I later get fried pizza at Montanara and we meet up with people to split. We say Bye to Jon. It was great seeing him for the short time he was here.

My first final went as expected, though after the test, I realize that I hiccuped on a few of the Torts rules, but the questions were only work 6-8 points and I got almost all the points. With a 13/15 on my midterm, I hope to get at least an A-.
Today is the contracts midterma nd I’ve been pretty decent about locking down and studying at Panera. I did 5-6 hours staight the day before. I also show up on campus at 10:00 to study for my final at 1:30. I’m decently/well prepared. The test turns out to be way to long and afterwards, people bitch like crazy. However, I’m a fast typer and pretty good at time management, so I’m able to finish the 15 multiple choice and 20 short answer in 3 hours. I heard people left 4-5 questions straight up blank.
Afterwards, people decide to go to a bar in Sunnyside. It’s actually a bunch of us. I’m surprsied people went out all the way there. I’m glad to be socializing with classmates and relaxing after our final, blowing off some steam. We have 2 more finals, one on Tuesday and a take home due Thursday, but that’s a decent amount of time.
I hang with the people from my seminar, the common way that social situations work because that’s the people you know. Eventually, people start leaving and we had gotten there around 5:30. At around 9:00, I leave and meet up with Hasan who is randomly in the area. We go to some hole in the wall restaurant that serves good Turkish food. We then wait for Bolanos and Kenny, who meet up with us in Sunnyside and we go to this very empty Irish bar. The bartender has an Irish accent, which I appreciate considering the bar is called “The Brogue.”
We call it a night, but it’s a nice afternoon and night after a final. I felt a little frazzled after it because of the constant writing. I feel bad for the peple that couldn’t finish and were in a rush the whole way through. Not that I wasn’t rushing a bit, but I knew I could finish the test. I would’ve liked to add a few more things, but I really hope I get an A in this class. I’m somewhat confident that I can.

I guess I could make plans to go out at night, but I prefer to stay in, take it easy, and study tomorrow. I get some work done during the day and then have a tutoring session with Melinda, Brandon’s mom. That’s been going pretty well.
If ya’ll don’t know already, once it hits 9-10PM on a weekend, I don’t work. I’m too excited about “the night” and the possibility of all the fun out there that people are having without me. Call me psycho, but it’s a good time to unwind even if I’m not going to be out.
Either way, lets say I partake in some goods that I got from Scott, must have been over a year ago. It was pretty good. Relaxing.

May 12, 2012
I’m on this weird sleep schedule where I sleep relatively late at like 2-3:00, but I can easily wake up at 10:00 and get work done. However, I wake up a few hours earlier than that plan to and I try to fight it off, eat some breakfast, and get my day going. After an hour, I realize I can’t fight it and go back to sleep, but until like 2:00PM, ugh.
I go to Starbucks for their sweet Happy Hour deal for some half price fraps and get some studying done.
At night, I invite Jenn and Bolanos over. We have some beers, we talk some shit, and just chill out. That’s a night.

I made a card for mom. Made by the way, not that bought shit. I bought some “pretty” blank cards, wrote them, ribboned it, pasted a heart to seal it. I call her and she won’t be home today, so I’ll cook that meal I’ve been planning for her later this week. There’s a great food memory/story with it, so I guess I’ll tell that when I cook for her. She’s not a stickler for when holidays are or whatnot. I’ll just make it up to her.
Madison Square Eats has opened up for the summer so I head out there. Luna’s been in the city with her b/f and I’ve been in touch with her, but I’m steering clear of her. Who the hell wants to be a 3rd wheel and hang out with them. Screw that mang.
I drive into the city, traffic isn’t too too bad and parking is pretty easy. I meet up with Stefan. While I’m waiting for him, I’m starving and grab an ice coffee, rice ball, and chicken taco. Stefan and I split this incredible freshly made pizza. Bloody good.
We eventually find a table to chill out at because it’s so crowded and we really had to wait around. This was after we grab a beer because awesomely, they serve beer this year. Great weather and setting for just some day drinking and some food. Oh my god, it’s fucking life. It’s amazing.
During this, I notice this really good looking girl. I’m not into tan girls and she really was, but she was tall, extremely thin, and showing loads of midriff and leg. Sort of a Audrina Patridge face going on. Stefan and I sit down at a table and there are two empty chairs. The girl and her tattooed boyfriend walk over and ask if they can sit. We welcome that. It’s great, there’s limited seating and it’s a lovely way to meet new people.
We share pleasentries and just keep chatting for an hour or so. He’s from San Diego and seems quite well off as he drives a CLS 550 and is quite liberal with his range of rent if he were to live in New York. She’s from upstate, but there out there for a year and that’s where they met. They’re a very cool couple just visiting the city for less than a week. Apparently they plan on moving out here. We talk some stuff about people in Europe, how New York operates, the people here, rent prices, things to do in New York, etc. etc. About 7:30-8:00, we all split up. But hey, what a great day.
This is exactly what I love about New York and meeting new people is one of the coolest things about life. Incredible food, beer, weather, sharing stories with strangers, catching up with Stefan, what a great day. I need to be diligent tomorrow though because I have one more day before my final.
Oh and by the way, walking around, jeez are there gorgeous women in New York. I really need to get back on the horse this summer. We’ll keep you posted. Until then, I’m out.

I’ve never stayed up so late working on something. I get to campus around 2:00PM and work on my take home final. Granted, I slack off a bunch, but I basically learn the entire semester, from past the midterm. I “learn” the class and then keep writing. I meet up with some people randomly and chat with them. I realize some stuff that I missed. It would’ve been nice if I planned things better and worked with people all day.
I get home at 1:30 and work until 4:00AM.

May 16, 2012
I get a decent amount of sleep and arrive on campus at 1:30PM. It’s due in 2 hours and I thought I had it done. I chat with some people in my seminar and change a few things. I finally hand it in and I’M DONE! First year of law school! OVER!
I go home, grab some food, and fucking nap my ass off until 7:15PM. I have a bottle with me for a pregame. I’m on my way to this bar that people are going to from my school. I get there early and no one is there. Kevin arrives, my “bro,” from school and we’re just chilling.
We go to the bar on the corner because it’s cheaper. We sit outside at this bar and see Oscar, from The Office. He’s walking down on the street with a girl taller than him. Hot date eh? Apparently he’s not gay in real life.
We then go back to the bar, Sutton Place, and it’s got a nice rooftop area. There are about 20 of us from the school there. That’s a good showing. It’s fun chatting with people, meeting some people, talking with some people I’ve never actually socialized with. Fun times, despite the numerous $7 beers I’ve paying for.
Tom eventually meets up and meets some of my friends. We then stand outside at 1:30ish and people are starting to split. I’m a boss and trying to get people to go downtown. However, despite my great planning abilities and boss ass drunk personality, people are bitches and just want to start leaving. We eventually relaize that no one is around and Tom and I get grab a quick beer near Penn Station before I jump on the 3:19.
On the train, apparently a worker jumped onto the tracks. We sit there for 2-3 hours doing nothing. Fucking bullshit. They give me “Emergency Water” and eventually the train moves. I get home at 7:00AM. Screw that!
