68 and sunny one day, snow the next

So last weekend, I was really busy trying to get ahead in all my classes. However, you didn't miss out on much. We had a 4 day week because of Martin Luther King Jr Day. It was a basic week: go to class, do homework, come home, go to bed, get up, repeat. Last weekend there was a small cocktail party for a friend who got married over Christmas break. His wife is in the process of moving from Texas to Oxford, and she was in town for that weekend. It was fun getting to meet her and hearing about the wedding and honeymoon.

This weekend I came home for a friend's birthday, and I didn't want to have to worry about homework and law school while I was home, and in order to do that, I had to get all of my work done through Tuesday. So I spent a lot of last weekend, and the beginning of last week working ahead in all of my classes. It made for a very long week, especially since I was really looking forward to hanging out with my friends. So I got everything done, and packed on Thursday night. I was also excited because my boyfriend Kevin was coming with me at the request of my friend who's birthday party I was going to. That, of course, meant meeting the parents, something that's never fun, but especially so early in the relationship. It was good though, everything went great.

So Friday night Kevin and I went out with my friend Jesse and her boyfriend. We went to a bar and then went cosmic bowling. It was a lot of fun. I learned that I still stink at bowling. :) Saturday morning we got up ridiculously early for a Saturday (7:30) and went to watch my little sister swim in the county swim meet. She did really good. That afternoon I had a meeting with a local lawyer, not an interview, just an informational meeting. It was very helpful. I look forward to using him as a resource in the future. After that I came back and quickly got ready for the party. The meeting had been at 4:30, and originally I wanted to leave at 5:30, but it ended up being closer to 6. Kevin and I headed towards my friend Robyn's apartment downtown. Unfortunately, they were doing road work on I-40 and it took us an hour to get down there. For her birthday we went to Spaghetti Warehouse, where the service was absolutely awful (and that's saying something coming from me), and then to some downtown bars. We ended up at a place called Raiford's which is a 70s disco themed club. It was a lot of fun.

This morning we got up and went to church before heading back to Oxford. Unfortunately for me I left my Oxford house key in Memphis, luckily though, I realized it about a half hour outside Memphis, so my dad and I met up on the edge of Memphis. We made it back around 4pm though, so I have the rest of the evening to just chill, although I'm going to make flash cards and type up notes instead. Overall, it's been a pretty good two weeks. Next weekend is the Rascal Flatts/Luke Bryan concert that Chelsea and I got tickets to for Christmas. I'm really looking forward to that. :)
