Meanwhile a fellow summer with a girlfriend hits on me incessantly while drunk and forgets it when sober...don't know how to approach that. At least he's cute?

Generally, when people aren't assholes.

I for one am glad that my firm isn't too crazy with the drinking. Not only are most people in a relationship, but it also avoids the awkward mornings after (*cough* Skadden *cough*).

Ya I mentally inserted air quotes around "forget" and just assumed she knew he was full of it

This is incorrect. Instead, you should go to the copy room. Gently place your scrotum (scrotum only - no shaft) onto the Xerox machine and copy it in black and white. When someone criticizes your work product, proceed to hand them one of those copies and just say "for your files."

That was what I thought, it'd be weird to say at a party if someone asked you what you did that you were a summer associate.

What's the alternative? You aren't claiming any sort of associate/lawyer title correct?

You say that you're a law student interning at a law firm for the summer.

Still trying to become friends with my class after 2 weeks, but the events are really helping. Can't believe we're already 1/5 of the way done. Works been pretty awesome so far. I'm never bored.
