Weekend begins now

This is why I am excited for this weekend. Technically my weekend begun half an hour ago, as I have no more classes until Monday, but my life is kind of weekend-less, as I just have different blobs of work every day. Fridays are a real 9-6 job, but outside of that work is hectic. But this weekend is a real weekend, in that the slate is clear Saturday and Sunday. Why? Away game.

This will be my first ND game off campus. And I can't think of a better place to go, mainly because I suspect that going to MSU as a football opponent is the closest thing (excepting Ohio State. Obviously) to being an SEC away fan. It will be great. Michael Reeve talked about guys throwing piss on the band. I believe that.

Plus, ND has a nice history of beating MSU at MSU (at ND stadium? Not so much). Not that I expect a win. But it should be fun.

The plan as of now is to take off early in the morning, get beer and tailgate for hours, watch the game, and then ???? Maybe head home, maybe stay in East Lansing. If I do that, there will have to be enough room in one car to go back for all the people going with us. We'll see.

As for the rest of the week? Same shit, different week. I tried to contact the Speaker of the House for Indiana to ask him some questions about gambling legalization, but he was out of town. I got one of my teachers to agree to write a law school recommendation, so that's good. She's an Italian teacher and seemed thrilled to write it, so yay for that. I need to ask one more. I also wrote my "Why Duke" and "Why Michigan" application supplemental essays. I have one more supplemental essay, a 250 word essay for Yale Law which is going to be incredibly difficult, and then my main "personal statement," which is going to be about Higgins Lake I think. I'm putting that off a bit, but oh well. I also got a bunch of fee waivers recently, but not to U of M, which is disappointing. I did get one to Columbia which is nice. Free money!
