Happy 4th of July everyone!

This week has been a slow week at the office, but I am excited to say that I finished another memo. All law schools have a writing requirement. Starting next year for the incoming class, people can fulfill the writing requirement with a portfolio of pieces, from co-op or classes. This would have worked so well for me on this co-op since I've already written three memos, each more than ten pages. Sadly, this requirement does not apply to me. Also it is incredibly difficult to get a memo approved to be released from the SEC.

In other news, my work friends and I have started going across the street to Elephant and Castle on Tuesday nights to play trivia. Sadly, we didn't make it into the championship to win Red Sox tickets. We did place, not thanks to a team that cheated! I know, so terrible. You may wonder how I knew they cheated. The announcer said "We've already had a complaint, don't do it again or your team will be disqualified." I understand why they don't get the automatic DQ because the pub is a business and want those people to come back and not feel embarrassed.

But I'm bitter.Why would you cheat at bar trivia! The point of bar trivia is to show that you have a whole bunch of useless knowledge in your brain like knowing that the ancient Romans called Scotland Caldonia or that owls have asymmetrical ears. (Both questions no one in my team knew). Obviously it's easy to know those facts if you google it on your PDA/Blackberry. I'm slightly bitter because of the injustice that cheaters do prosper. They won the $50 that comes with first place and a chance to participate in the trivia championship with Red Sox tickets as a prize.

I like competitions and I like to win. But really, if one team cheats that's just not fair. Now if all of us had a chance to cheat, that would be a test of who has the fastest fingers on a blackberry and would be more fair. But that's just not the point.

In other news, I plan on seeing Wall-E sometime soon. The NYT gave it the best review! Maybe tomorrow.

Otherwise, I hope everyone enjoys this slightly chilly 4th!
