PILA Semiformal Dance 2006

UVA Law's Public Interest Law Association (PILA) hosted a Benefit Auction and Semiformal Dance at the Omni Hotel. The PILA Auction raises money for law students interested in working in public interest law to give them a stipend during unpaid/low-paying summer internships. They get donations of things to auction off like a week in someone's parent's beach house, gift certificates to local restaurants, or activities like dinner hosted at a professor's house.

We pre-partied at Brian's apartment and then had a lot of fun at the dance. I even won stuff in the auction-- though of course, that means I paid for it!

Barrister's Ball 2006

I don't agree with where UVA puts the apostrophe in Barrister's Ball, but they do so very deliberately so I will follow along. It remains my position though that the ball is for all barristers so it should be the barristers' ball and that furthermore, this is the US so it should be the Attorneys' Prom or some such thing.

We had a preparty in Ivy Gardens. We took lots of prom style pictures of people with their dates, but I'm single for this party so I only care about the group picture.

Karaoke for the First Time 2006

I have been avoiding this moment for a long time because I am tone deaf (I prefer tone mute). A bunch of thought it would be fun to go to Tokyo Rose last night, and I thought I'd get away with listening in the back. But I was invited to sing a song with a group of people though and I figured that I probably wouldn't ruin the song that way. Also it was LIKE A PRAYER. Can't say no to that.

My new girl band: Dawn, me, Kristina, Kelly,  and Beth

They singing It's Raining Men. Truth.

 

Connie is rocking out!

Dawn, Kara, and Cate are killing it

1L Softball Tournament 2005

I don't play softball... I don't have anything against it, I'm just really bad at it. But softball is a big deal at UVA generally, and it's a big deal at the law school- they host a multi-law-school tournament in the spring for charity. In the fall, the law sections play each other for bragging rights. I went to cheer and support the people that were playing for our section. Our section is decent and won our first game. But then got out in round 2.
