This past weekend I went to visit my friend, Amy, who I used to work with. She has since moved to New York and has a super cute one bedroom on the West Side. The focus of my trip was to 1) Visit Amy 2) Attend the Belmont Stakes and 3) Try Pinkberry – totally worth a 4 hour bus ride btw.
I have not ever been to any of the big horse races but I must say that I totally looked the part. I found a super cute dress at J. Crew and was properly accessorized with the help of a borrowed Louis and some great accessories (my boss is very wealthy and she loves me).
Even with the lack of functioning bathrooms (Note: 1.5 hours to pee = NOT cool) and the fact that Big Brown did not take the Triple Crown and I did not get to witness history (boo!), the races were really fun. We went with Amy’s business school friends and one of the boyfriends had a bunch of friends who went to law school together. I have to say, I have never felt more inadequate with my lowly undergrad degree in my life.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not cocky or anything but I am typically not the dumbest one in the group. This weekend I definitely felt that way. Maybe it was the talk of derivative law and the statutes on immigration in the US, but I definitely had NOTHING to contribute to the conversations at the Korean bar-b-que joint we went to after the races.
So after this weekend of intellectual inadequacies I have made an important decision … it is time that I go back to grad school. I just am kind of scared to give up my salary for 2 years – that is such a commitment. I guess that 27 is the average age that people go back to school so the planning would have to start now. The funding aspect is a little fuzzy as are the requirements but who knows? Maybe I need a big adventure?
On a side note: One of the attorneys was super cute and I think kind of flirty (?) Amy is convinced I should get his address and email him, but I would never be so ballsy … maybe that is why I am always dateless? I am still considering it.
