labor day

today i have just been typing up notes, working on problems, re-reading old notes etc. i try periodically to get out of the apartment, so i went for a walk, and later i was outside playing guitar. there were a bunch of law students bbq-ing and a guy came over and told me i ought to join and play my guitar over there and have a beer, so i did join and have a beer and talk to a few people and play my guitar a little bit. there are lots of law students--there are 320 in an incoming class. the guy who invited me over actually worked for cbs entertainment tonight and was the boyfriend of a law student there, and his brother was also there; his brother worked for some animation studio. actual LA people! eventually i just felt like i was standing around without much to say so i came back to my apartment and i am back to work... but it was nice to branch out, even if it was just a baby step... anyway, carpenter pitched a complete game one-hitter, which was fun to watch. i guess tomorrow it's back to boot camp. the test is in 9 days or so... i'm ready to get it over with! thanks for reading!
