Preparing for the Bar.
I figured that if I want any hope of passing the Bar in a few years, I should at least check out a bar. I guess that was my reasoning after I got there; I only went because Senator Ilan threatened me with serious bodily injury if I didn’t agree to go. This makes the second group I’ve seen socially since Lauren and I were married (our only other friends are the Stevensons). It was good fun (almost as much fun as talking about fundamental property rights or the seperation of powers: the other highlights of my week).
This trip raised my total alcohol consumed since turning 21 to none. I'm on pace to my 20th and 19th years.

You appear to suggest that, after spending a week in class with the same 80-odd people, you don't relish the idea of taking your evening of freedom and spending that with them as well... you appear to have the makings of a good military officer...
first, the bar. then, dancing on the bar. i've seen it happen to more reserved people.
thankfully, Houston has plenty of bars within a stone's throw of school. just gimme another 6 months.
Steve: I didn't think I was full of myself enough to be an officer, but there's probably still time for that.
Pman: As long as I have a wife, I'm staying off the table (unless there's a spider or something and I get scared).
Point of Order: Typically, Academy Grads are the ones who are most full of themselves, as they consider themselves one step above your "normal" officer. The rationale is that once upon a time, promotion in the officer ranks was tied more to who you knew, and most of the people in the upper echelons were academy grads, stemming back from the days when officers were primarily academy grads, which meant that when it came time to promote, the Good Ole Boy System (GOBS) would give you a leg up. That's why, when you look at the history of the US Armed Forces, most of the Generals are graduates of some academy. Indeed most officers above the rank of Major, who aren't medical or legal, are graduates (historically) of the academies. It's changed a LOT in recent years (read: about the time you were born), but the aura still remains. Much like saying a Harvard Business grad is better than a Loyola Business grad, they have the same training, it's just the "mystique," as it were
Spiders can be arranged. what if they showed up in class? would you squeal like a school-girl?
