During the weekdays, my life in Korea is pretty routine. I’m at the office, clerking away Monday-Friday, from 9-6. These are the days of pencil skirts, silk blouses, blazers, and heels. Days of hour-long subway commutes from the apartment to the firm. On the whole, they are days of redundancy. So as you can imagine, I try to keep my weekends as random and free-spirited as possible. This post is a glimpse of last Saturday night, which was pretty much the opposite of how I described my week. I guess you could say that my weekends are in their own shade altogether.

I’m packing my bags and getting ready for Korea. I know it has been three weeks but it feels like I just arrived in Japan. Tokyo is amazing, just so much to do. A return trip is definitely necessary. These pictures are from an Izakaya restaurant where we all went for nomihodai (all you can drink). Combining law students with all you can drink is dangerous. 
Fun to see such a serious group get loose. Good time for sure.
lost and found in Tokyo
I’m quickly falling in love with Tokyo. It is by far one of the cleanest and safest cities I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Just to give you an idea of what I mean by safe, one of my favourite things to do here is to go jogging at night through the city…by myself and (as an aside) in the rain. It’s exhilarating! Everyone seems so respectful to, and considerate towards, one another. The first time I went on one of these ‘jogging sight-seeing missions’ I got distracted by a shop and got lost. It felt a little troublesome because everything was beginning to look the same, few people speak enough English to be of help, and I had no money or phone on me, but it still felt too safe to really worry. I will never forget this comfortable feelings in one of the most populous metropolitan centers of the world.

I just handed in a final memo for my Legal Research & Writing class. It feels good to be completely done with something this year. The general feeling of freshness that comes with Spring seems to be inspiring lightness in my outfit choices. I might be going through a “little-dress + statement-necklace” phase. We’ll see where that takes me…
time and again
These pictures are from a while back when my brother and I spend a day at Santana Row. I couldn’t dream of going out for hookah or just chilling on a patio these days – it’s officially law-school-crunch-time. But I’m still enjoying it all…especially this beautiful California weather.
