What The Helicopter?

Good weekend, but long.

Dr. Antar didn't run too long on Friday, which was good. I hit the road, and got into Memphis around the usual time. Friday night was the Barrister's Ball (Law Prom) at Ernistine & Hazel's in downtown Memphis. It's a former house-of-ill-repute turned bar & dance area. Overall, I had a pretty good time. One of my fraternity brothers who is a 2-L (second year law student to all of us non-law students) showed up with 4 bottles of wine. He only got to drink two of them; the other two are walking with Jesus now. The music was good, but very very loud. More importantly, I was able to get some Central BBQ before going to the dance.

Saturday was a nice, relaxing day. Jennifer and I eventually went to Steak-n-Shake (good chili) and saw Babel. My advice on that: don't. If you absolutely must, go to the matinee.

Yesterday Jennifer and I cooked pancakes at her apartment before I headed back to Tullahoma. The drive back to Coffee County was also fairly routine, its just getting a lot darker a lot earlier now. That's really evident when you leave Nashville on I-24 and the street lights stop, and it gets capital-D dark. Strange.

Today was fine, as far as classes go. I stayed off of Dr. Kuperschmidt's radar, and Dr. Vakili has somewhere better to be, and let us know that when he ended class a few minutes early. He also mentioned something about emus during a derivation. Also, a freaking helicopter landed on the court yard today. A freaking helicopter. How many schools does that happen to? Also, I think it belongs to the school. How many schools have a freaking helicopter? Not many, I bet.
