Law Prom

On Friday I went to the "Barrister's Ball," the law school's annual semi-formal dance. It was nice to interact with my classmates socially--something I don't do very often. On the other hand, it served as a reminder of how schmoozing-intensive the legal profession is. A few of the local attorneys who have addressed my class have intimated that we have a lot of charity dinners in our future. It's fun to picture myself walking among the rich and powerful, but I hope I don't turn into a smiling and insincere handshake machine.
