A little contrast to my daily life

Categorised as Personal, School & tagged with party, uni.

First, let’s define my daily life:

But for an anomaly of a past week, I was allowed to go to four parties in a row — big big contrast to my 5pm curfew last year.

1. Law Stein: with a “90′s Rave” theme, this was the last of our four annual steins. (Although I hear of a fifth coming after the final exams.) The most un-sober I got on this night was at the pre-drinks party hehe.
2. Opening Night Dinner: a great event for a chat with random new people. Fun, but I was extremely red and tipsy after one glass of chardon­nay. Couldn’t take more, or I wouldn’t have been able to get to my bus home.
3. Pub Crawl: Arrived at the city with my outfit ready, full-on with a steth­o­scope and all, I was planning to attend the event as a “zambuk” (kudos to you if you know what it means). But I didn’t sleep well the night before, so after time­keep­ing for a mooting com­pet­i­tion I wagged the event and went home. This day marked the failure of my party marathon. Sigh.
4. Cocktail Party: free cocktails, inter­ac­tions with lawyers at a large law firm at the Auckland Viaduct, what could go wrong? Well, a vodka-champagne mix pushed me over the edge and I couldn’t stand straight for an hour after­wards. I suck at alcohol. Period.

So I trotted along to those parties in the name of “social network building” within my future career field. The last three were special events held by the NZLSA Con­fer­ence, which I was invited to for building their website (together with Tim).

Now that also explains my lack of blogging. There, I’ve fulfilled my dream #1 of attending a classy, civilised cocktail event like those in movies and novels (except not as grand but still). And now, I’m back to reality:
