Last First day

I'm back home. Home sweet home. As beautiful as Miami was, I got home-sick pretty quick. 

So today is my, wait let me make sure I get this right, last first day of my last fall semester of my last year as a law student. Yup, read it a few times, let it sink in. It's exciting and nerve wrecking. I say this all the time but I'm not ready to be a grown up. But I guess I don't have much choice. Realty slap. 

I know I have been slacking with the Florida pictures but I have a valid excuse: I want to put as many pictures as I can and that takes time people (also photoshop is on my MacBook that doesn't work unless the battery is plugged in and when it does it's super slow oh and I'm taking my MPRE (Ethics exam for the BAR) on Saturday and I have not studied at all). I guess that's two very valid and legitimate reasons. But no worries, I plan on spending whatever time I have left on Saturday working on the pictures. 

To make up for the lack of posts, I'm posting a picture of a Reese's cup for you all. Enjoy. Savor every bite :) 

Miami Trip (Day #1)

This post really should be dated August 10. Bushra came to Florida for work and Sadi and I decide to tag along. Who could say no to a vacay?

Our flight was at 6 A.M. Yes, in the morning. If you know me, you know how much I love the mornings (Its really hard to be sarcastic on a blog. Lets just say I'm not a morning person) We landed at Miami International Airport around 10 (pit stop in Philly) and they had these really cool themed terminals. 

I think this was the Flamingo Terminal

Next stop, foood!! We found Tasca De Espana, a Latin-Indian restaurant. 

Chaat Papri

Chicken Curry 

Flan with a Cheesecake layer

Mango Mousse

We then drove to the Hotel. Bushra got us reservation at the JW Marriott and it was gorgeous and super fancy.

A mandatory mirror shot

That's right, we were on the Presidential Floor

I was trying to be creative, I'm not sure if it worked

Once we got settled, we took what-was-suppose-to-be-an-hour-nap-but-turned-into-a-three-hour nap. We were going to see a lighthouse nearby but when we drove to it, it was closed. So we decided to find a place for dinner. 

Gorgeous lights everywhere

Sadi finally got a picture

No dinner without fro-yo, although this wasn't as good as Sweet Frog

:)

Night life from the hotel. LOVE this picture

This was day 1 in Miami. Day 2 was Key West. I'll post those pictures up later tonight. Off to enjoy Day 3 in Miami. Toodles. 

Why Res Ipsa Loquitur

Yes, peer pressure finally got to me and I started a blog. I have been meaning to do this for a while now but I couldn't create one until I found the perfect name. Per-fect. My friends and family can testify as to how many hours I wasted in the past few weeks trying to come up with something. Many many hours. Too many hours. But that's all old news now because I FINALLY have a title (although it took a while to confirm the spelling of loquitur)! You're now reading the title and thinking 'uhh that's the perfect one she was waiting for' but it is, yes it is. First year of law school in Torts we learned about "res ipsa loquitur" which means "the thing speaks for itself." Basically, sometimes, okay let me stop (didn't get very far did I?). I don't think I can explain this as quickly and concisely as I thought so let me get some help:

The classic example is the person who has an operation, has her appendix removed, and then some time after the operation she still has pain in her stomach, goes back to the doctor, takes an x-ray and sees that the scalpel, or the surgical knife, was still inside of her when she was sewn up. This is a clear case of res ipsa loquitur. There is no reason other than negligence that a doctor would sew a scalpel into somebody's stomach.   

So why and how is "res ipsa loquitur" the perfect name? Knowing myself (prepare yourself for a lot of random thoughts), I don' think there will be a consistent theme throughout the posts so the thing (aka blog) will speak for itself. I plan on posting pictures of family, friends, places, foods and just a bunch of other randomness. After typing all that out, I'm thinking I may have slightly overestimated the cleverness in creating this title. But just slightly. Regardless, enjoy the randomness :)
