This crazy month called November.

November's been a good month. Crazy, but so good.

At the beginning of the month, I took the MPRE. Then jumped in the car with this awesome guy N and drove to Berkeley for the Cal-UA game. After spending way too long looking for parking and walking to the stadium, we finally made it and watched Arizona bear down to a win! 

Our seats were pretty awesome.

The next Thursday, I did my full day trial for my trial advocacy class. It was an amazing learning experience. I was on the prosecution, so it was a good experience to see things from "the other side." It was fun to do the trial. It's got all of the public speaking and the strategic wording and the spontaneity that I think is a good time. We lost, but it there was reasonable doubt up and down our case file, so it was comforting that the jurors, who were community members, were able to see that and come to the right verdict. We also got to watch the jury deliberate, and it's interesting to see what parts of your case that they latch onto and which parts they ignore. Spoiler alert: they don't always pay attention to the information that you want, and pick up on lots of things that you didn't even mention.

Two days later, I took my first final. Gag. And turned in a big paper that Wednesday after that. And then did an oral argument a week later.

But then, I WAS FREE!!

To do things like go to Apple Hill. Or do some mini golfing with N. 

So November, thanks for kicking my butt, and being a blast.
