Area 51

It's official. I'm a member of the U.F.O. club. 3 beers down, 197 to go. I've got my "Beer Knurd" t-shirt, my U.F.O. card and at least three years to rack up the brews and get my name on one of those elusive plates. Everyone needs an inspiration in life. Mine for now just happens to be beer. Is that bad? I'm pretty sure it's par for the course for law school...

Last night was really fun. Headed over to Sam's, a little sports bar in the Village, with my roommate for their Monday night poker game. I got busted out of the free game really quickly but picked up a quick $15 in a side game (which later paid my entry fee for the U.F.O. club), so the evening was off to a solid start. I'm really digging being able to walk to all these great spots. I walked to the Post Office yesterday. The freakin' post office. In Athens it took me at least half an hour to drive all the way to the PO, take care of stuff, and drive back. Here it's 10 minutes if I walk. I like.

After poker, I went over to a classmate's apartment at a great complex called 20 & Grand. Really fancy place. There were probably 20 1L's over there and we hung around for about an hour before heading to The Flying Saucer where we made it all the way to last call. Quite a night. Met tons of 1L's and everyone was playing the "Where are you from, where'd you go undergrad, what's your phone number?" game all night. It was great.

Tonight we're headed to this great pizza place called Mafioaza's. Should be a blast. Details to follow.

Less than 24 hours before my first official law school function. Wow.
