UCL LLM Christmas Party

Last night, UCL had its annual LLM Christmas party at a "posh" club in Soho. It was what I'd imagine it would be like to attend an extremely fashionable UN conference whilst tripping on acid. Sure, I've never actually done either of those things- attended a UN conference nor tripped on acid, but I can imagine it, right? UCL prides itself on having students from all over the globe- so it was the most international party I believe I have ever attended. Add in crazy techno beats (who says you can't do the robot to techno?), stroke-inducing flashing lights, and trippy surroundings. And voila: you have the UCL holiday party.

But last night I learned that my odd conversation starters are totally acceptable when talking to people from all over the world.

I truly had a blast clubbin' it up with my fellow law kids last night, even though I am much more of a quiet-pub-kind-of-girl. I must say, law students are fun to party with world 'round. They like to have fun and can offer helpful life tips ("The tube is actually the only legal place to drink in public in London, though they will never stop you for an open container on the street"). And, since it's fun to draw on paintbrush, here are a few highlights from last night:
