Today was a little unfocused. I woke up later than usual (8:30), and found myself thoroughly puzzled by what I should do with myself, alone, without any friends in a completely new city.
I started with some errands, but once those were done I didn't know how to kill time before lunch. Happily, the Abstract Concept called and we got to chat a little bit. The AC is one of my closest friends from law school. I also occasionally hate him. Several theories abound as to why this is so, and so far the best is that there's something about his scent. Indeed, he gave up deodorant in college. At any rate, it was nice to hear from him and to find out what everyone is doing, or not doing, in Beantown.
Once I returned home, I saw that my second roommate and her dog (who is effectively my third roommate) had returned from their weekend away. Second Roomie is also a rising 3L and is heavily into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. She proved this by having her trainer over for snacks. We also got to chat a little bit, and I found out that she's a year older than I, which was nice to hear because yes, I'm obsessed with my age. I assume everyone in law school is younger than I am, and therefore ahead of the game. Silly, I know, but the silliest thoughts are often the toughest to shake.
As for the dog, he is an energetic little Shih Tzu who yaps at strangers. Sometimes I wish I could yap at strangers.

Second Roomie is into Jiu Jitsu and has a Shih Tzu???
I'm with you on the feeling like you are behind on the game, but every once in a while I remember there's a sixth-year grad student who is 45 in my department and it's a small department. :)
So now we know why you put up with AC even though he smells bad. Cause he makes you feel better about your age.
