Palm Springs Weekend

January 18, 2012 at 3:40 am 3 comments

So the #BestSemesterEver is off to a kicking start!

A few weeks ago my friends and I decided to kick off second semester 3L with a trip to Palm Springs for the long weekend. My friend’s family has a house there which was unoccupied for the long weekend so on Friday we packed up to Occupy Palm Springs.

I love the desert. I love the mountains and how they felt right on top of us.

I love the California sunshine. Never leaving.

We had a great weekend and it was so nice to be reunited with all my friends. I’m going to miss these weekends when law school is over. These people are some of the best ever.

Over the long weekend I:

Ate approximately 1,000 tortilla chips
Ran 3 miles in the shadow of the mountains

Watched the sun set
Jammed 5 people into my friend’s 1988 red BMW convertible blasting New Order
Consumed a 27 oz. “skinny” margarita

Ate numerous Mexican meals
Spent hours in the pool/hot tub
Helped my female friends dominate my guy friends at mini golf
Narrowly avoided a go-karting crash
Drove through Indian Country (I’ve been nerding out on Federal Indian Law and tribal law all year)
Picked citrus from trees, including monster lemon

Drank white sangria from aforementioned fruit
Put a clown noise on a dog.
Watched the Clippers own the Lakers, while also watching “sexting in suburbia” #ClipperNation
Cooked family dinner consisting of build your own tacos, quesadillas, and lemon bars

Walked into a cactus while trying to get to Starbucks. Whoops.

This semester is shaping up to be the best semester ever!

How did you spend your long weekend?

What a fun weekend! Love the look of that marg.

One of my good friends flew down from SF (I hadn’t seen her in a year and a half) and we did a bunch of touristy LA things – Hollywood and Highland, hike to the Hollywood Sign, going out, Sunday Brunch. Just realized it probably merits a post of its own.

I haven’t been to the desert in a while. I miss it.

My long weekend consisted of plenty of Mexican food, some running and watching football.

Juris Doctored May 18, 2012

Hey everyone. It’s been a busy week over here. For starters, this happened: Hooded and ready to go. Last Friday my law school career officially ended with my law school graduation. I’m not sure I really have the words to describe the experience yet. Hands down, it was the greatest day of my life. Nerd [...]

The ends not near, it’s here. May 8, 2012

On top of the mountain. Get it? So last Wednesday I took my final law school exam and as we speak I am editing the final paragraphs of my Clinical Project. I will be completely and totally finished with everything associated with law school this evening. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on my [...]

Why eat food when you can wear it: My avocado facial April 29, 2012

I am a frequent reader of xojane.com. I was a HUGE fan of Jane Magazine back in the day. I don’t read many “woman’s magazines” but I always loved Jane. Since Jane is no longer I have become an avid reader of xojane.com. It’s not the same as Jane but I read it daily. I [...]

Bacon, Leek and Scallion Pizza inspired by Pizzeria Mozza April 25, 2012

It’s a well known fact: I love pizza. While some have strong Chicago vs. New York opinions, I will pretty much enjoy any pizza as long as it’s well made. OK, that is a bit of a lie. Chicago pizza is boss. If you have a good, crispy yet thick crust and the right sauce [...]

Plan Check April 15, 2012

I’ve made a really obvious recent discovery: The LA Times website has an entire section devoted to food on the Westside! How did I not figure this out sooner? Obviously, the second I figured out that this section of the site existed I read all the entries that have been posted in the past year. [...]
