Good news, we got second in the Georgetown case competition, yay! The coordinator was surprised because he said that our group seemed “confused a lot” of the time, but ha! Shows you all! (To be fair, we did manage to loose all our materials within half an hour of receiving them, but let’s not dwell on mere details.)

Anyway, we pulled through the mishap at the beginning and did pretty well, I think. In the 54 hours between getting the case and doing the last presentation, we only slept seven hours or so and on day two, I worked 20 hours straight without leaving the hotel room. Our powerpoint (which I made) was pretty great anyway. However, now that the competition is over, I need a new hobby to squander my time on. I’ve decided to learn Korean! Cho-neun han-guk-mal-ul moht ham-ni-da. (I don’t speak Korean.) w00t.

I’m being completely serious, actually. I started uh…today. But I put in a good five hours in order to get down the basic sentence structure and subject/object particles. Next up, tenses! I tried learning from web sites and such, but I may need to get a book because verb conjugation has never been my strong point. I probably only know 50-ish Korean characters right now, but that’s okay because I want to focus on grammar before delving into building a vocabulary.

My plan is to continue LSAT studying and attempting to learn Korean throughout the summer. Hopefully I’ll have something to show for my efforts when the new school year starts. Wish me luck! An-nyong-hi kyeh-se-yo! (Goodbye!)
