hey beanies!! how was everybody’s week? it was a long and busy one for me! I had a mock trial yesterday that I basically spent the entire week preparing for (so no dramas for me until just now!). the session ended up going on for 5 whole hours, and by the end of it, I was dehydrated and battling a terrible migraine. I got home and almost immediately just crashed from the exhaustion. I’m all better now, thankfully. glad that’s all over!

in lighter news, here’s the cake I made for my boyfriend’s birthday:

it was a chocolate cake with hazelnut swiss meringue buttercream and decorated with toasted hazelnuts. inspired by ferrero rocher!

also, the DYLB playlist has finally been updated with this week’s new pieces:

1. Zigeunerweisen, Op. 20 by Pablo de Sarasate (ep. 10, violin sonata performed at the event hosted by professor song)

2. Sicilienne, Op. 78 by Gabriel Faure (ep. 10, cello and piano piece performed by a student at hyunho’s strings masterclass)

    Omg, a mock trial and a cake. I’m so jealous of your skills. That cake looks amazing and going through a 5 hour anything deserves applause in itself

    Ooh, mock trial? *shudder* Gives me law school memories (well, I mean law school just finished for me, but I’ve been fastidiously trying to pretend like those three years didn’t happen).

    I’m glad the migraine is gone! Hopefully you’re feeling better and more energetic now.

    That cake looks delicious!!

      HAHAHA. I feel ya. My law undergrad was four LONG years. I graduated in May and I wish I could repress all the memories, but I’m sitting for the bar exams in November and surrounded by classmates, so there’s no escape 😂

      Thank you for the compliment! I’m happy with how it turned out 🥰

    is there no cap on when a case should end on a particular day?
    like time bound meeting?

      usually there’s quite a strict schedule, but this was a training exercise/workshop for students, so we were actually scheduled for 5 hours 🙁
