Oops!

I was talking to Mom the other day and realized that there were a few major updates that I had neglected to tell her... and incidentally had neglected to blog. SO here's an update:

First of all, house update - we have all our appliances now! Our washer/drier is giving us a little trouble because the pipe under the house is capped, so the dirty water comes back up and needs to be siphoned out (thank goodness C takes care of this - I can't handle the added stress!). Besides that, though, we have a functioning fridge, stove and dish washer, which is awesome. 

ALSO our amazing friends have completely furnished our guest bedroom (they offered this to us as a housewarming gift) - the room is very cute and cozy and beachy. You'll have to see it to understand what that means. The room honestly defies description. Let's just say that there is a standing lamp that is shaped like a palm tree...

Second - I know I posted about Law Review (yay), but I'm not sure that I posted about Moot Court (also I'm too lazy to go back to read my old posts, so sorry if this is a repeat). I made the moot court team and will be competing as an oralist this coming spring. More news to follow as it becomes available (I think they release our problem in November).

Third - I received an award for my legal writing last semester - I got an A+ in the class which earned me a Witkin Award (yay). That's one of the things I mentioned in passing while talking to Mom who reminded me that I HADN'T mentioned it before, and maybe I should have? :D

Fourth - I have been trying to secure employment for my next summer. I know it's early to be looking, but I want to nail that down as soon as possible so that I don't have to worry about it in the spring. I sent in my resume/writing sample to the on-campus interview program and have been contacted for a job interview. I won't say who the possible employer is here, but it's a paying job, it's government, and it would be awesome if they decide to hire me! The interview is in a little less than two weeks, so I'll be sure to post about it once the time comes. More on that later as well.

I think that's it... despite all the work and obligations and craziness I'm miraculously caught up/ahead on my readings for class and am now doing some research for my law review Comment topic. I'm sure that everything will unravel again once we get our second Law Review production assignment, so I'm trying to stay ahead of the game. So far so good!
