Law Ball is on tonight. 'Winter Wonderland' Theme... Apparently this is something that i'm supposed to be very excited about.
Last year turned out to be fun - four of the girls from school came with me, so it didn't matter that i didn't know heaps of the actual law people. We ended up having lots of fun and winding up the night by staying at Swish until closing. Good times.
This year, i didn't have school friends to ask. I know some of the law people better though, so it will probably be survivable. That said, the law people i know are the kinds of people who know EVERYONE. Unfortunately, that means that i can tag along behind my friends and feel slightly out of it. Also, mum and dad have gone away this weekend (awful timing to have left me alone in charge of my brother, when i've barely been capable of moving, let alone domestics) so they can't play taxi, and i don't have any girlfriends up for the taxi share. I hate forking out $20 for a taxi to somewhere on my own...
I'm trying very hard to psych myself up for this. I paid a boatload for my stupid ticket, so the least i can do is turn up (though it's occurred to me that i could stay home and continue to be numb and miserable... though i really can't justify ANOTHER day of doing that. The 50 or so hours that i've already done should tide me over through five hours of lawball... I couldn't even manage to get myself to work this morning and called in sick. The simple act of facing people and holding it together when everything is really falling apart is fay beyond me. And don't even ask about the state of my homework pile.
I'm working on not adopting the 'alcohol (temporarily) solves all of the world's problems' philosophy, because i have learnt in the past that it really doesn't... however, free booze and a misery hangover don't bode well for that.
Fingers crossed i'm still lucid enough to be with you tomorrow.
