I'm an adult now

So, I graduated. I know you are thinking "it's about f*ing time" and yes, I am thinking that as well.

What a rush! It was only yesterday (figuratively speaking of course) that I walked into the law school as a 1L.

Just a brief recap of my life in law school.

1. Legal Research and Writing - and Professor Sturm playing "smack that" to our "jeopardy questions."

2. Professor Gall bringing his wife's glasses to class. And bringing his wife's cell phone - when it rang in class, he calmly stopped his lecture and asked if anyone was going to answer that. When we informed him that it was in fact his phone, he answered it to tell the caller that his wife wasn't available to take the call.

3. Drinking a bottle of banana rum at Professor Litman's house. I said "Thank you professor, I had a great time." It came out "blah...mmffff...spoofrs... bye."

4. The bloodbath that was my first year moot. Like being lambs led to slaughter. The terms "bootstrapping" "bloodbath" and "judge-shopping." At least Chris Young paid for us to get drunk that night.)

5. TJ and I dressing up as grandma and grandpa for Halloween.

6. My award given to someone else (in error) at the awards ceremony. I felt like a tool.

7. Three fantastic toga parties. TOGA TOGA TOGA.

8. Studying unjust enrichment at Katherine's house. Lorne: We're like Kathrine's two ugly step-sisters. Alanna: Only we are all trying to fit into the same dress!

9. Drinking wine and having excellent food at Alanna's. Shelagh's surprise birthday party was quite fun!

10. Drinking with Kerry.

11. Law Show 2009 - I was the bitch that got things done! The Friday we were supposed to hand out gifts to everyone, not only did I show up late, I got splashed from head to toe with dirty, Edmonton street slush. Fucking handibus.

12. Sheila - Chris's laptop that got me through the first semester of 2L. She had 2 gigs! 2 Gigs! I could start up microsoft word 1997 in 5 minutes flat.

13. Any comments that Professor Brown made in that education building. Yes, they will be the people to teach my children.

14. Lorne kicking our asses at poker at Chelsea's house. Bastard.

15. 3L end of exams bash - firefighters, a bottle of gin, and so ill, so incredibly ill.

16. Winning first place in Inner Tube water polo in 2L. I was the greatest goalie ever. Not that I had to do that much, considering I was part of the most vicious team of women. Seriously scary good.

17. Going to the HMS Pinafore. TJ couldn't make it because of the election, so Crystal McMahon was my date. Hottest date I will ever get!

18. Hitting the ditch on the transcanada hiway on my way home from Lethbridge. Particularly after bragging about my driving skills to Kerry. Also, driving backwards on teh transcanada hiway about 250 metres so we could turn my sorry car around.

19. Skydiving for my 25th birthday.

20. 1L - we were the carbolic refugees. I remember showing up at the dance after our fancy dinner, only to see a woman in a beautiful red ball gown puke all over herself.

21. My first time in court = Jodi: "but what if the Justice says no?" Marissa: "Don't worry, they won't say no." Justice: "no."

22. Dean Percy asking a student to answer a question, to which that student responded: "hold on one moment Dean Percy, while I open my CAN."

23. Getting to school early in the morning, Steve offering me coffee and I promptly telling him no thanks, it tastes like dirt.

24. Hating snails, threatening to go snail hunting, wanting to sabatage them with all my being.

25. When Professor Yahya asked us what we wanted to be after law school, I told him I wanted to be a judge, he told me I would have to have certain friends and I told him that I have never met a politician who didn't want another friend!

26. Watching a 1L take on the Dean of the UCLA law school. Take that you cherry picker you!

27. Erica's stellar performance at the Witten wine and cheese. Not only do you tell em they're stuffy, you do it with a smile, a bleeding foot and an open blouse!

28. GILBERT STEELERS - "Ingenious but flawed" we sure worked our way to 13th place. that last place team sure felt the pain!

29. The best line in law show - "yeah I know they're evil, but they've got Juice. I mean, Juice!"

30. The family law fight to end all fights. Yet both arguing the same point!

If you have any more memories that you are dying to share - please do! I am certain that I cannot remember nearly 1/10th of what actually went on in the past 3 years!
