catching up
I admit it, I'm a slacker. Here's what's been going on.
Friday:
I got to work a little later than usual. But I was having a great hair day. Swaying Guy was on my train, though he wasn't dancing as much as the last time. I worked in Kimberly's office in the morning, entering her cases into ProLaw. Since I'd only received training on the program in the form of Kimberly showing me the day before, it took me a while to find my way around. I also got to fax the subpoenas I'd typed up for Cecelia. The fax machine at work is the same as at switchboard, which makes me feel better. Except that I have to dial 9 to get an outside line, not 7. There is much redialing. In the afternoon, I went over to the courthouse and did some filing. There wasn't much to do, though, so I ended up leaving before 3. (I like these shortened days.) I went home and changed my clothes. Then I went to Ballston Common and saw "Saw III." It was the saddest of the three movies. But I won't give away the ending, in case there are any other horror fans out there. I got Panera and came home. I cleaned up the living room and rearranged it. Tiffany's sister Tara was flying in at night, so I wanted the place to look presentable. I went to bed relatively early because I had to get up early the next morning.
Saturday:
I woke up at 4:45 to take a shower, then went back to bed, then got up again at 6:30. It had stopped raining overnight, but it was still gloomy outside. Scott was waiting in the hallway and we walked to the Metro together. We had to take the blue line all the way to the end, Huntington and then catch the REX bus to Ft. Belvoir. We were going to help the USO assemble care packages for the troops overseas. It was an adventure, figuring out the bus route, and finding our way around the base. It was a little eerie, actually, walking around. It was like everyone could tell we were civilians, that we didn't belong. But volunteering was fun. There were over 200 people there. It was pretty inspiring. On the way back home, as we were on the Metro, I looked at the city flying past (because that end of the blue line is mostly above-ground) and thought, 'I'll miss this city when I leave.' I'm really starting to love it. When I got back, I took another shower and took a nap. There was a costume party hosted by another girl in the program. We all got dressed up and went. I didn't stay too long. I keep forgetting that I don't like very many people in the program. So I came back home.
Sunday: I haven't done so much today. There was a "House" marathon on today that I was watching. I've done some homework. Now Lori, Alyssa and I are watching "Fever Pitch." Desperate Housewives is on in an hour. (It's so sad that I'm addicted to that show now. And Gray's Anatomy.) Hopefully, this week is exciting.

I'm glad that you're loving it there and that you enjoyed the care package for soldiers packing. The USO has always been fascinating to me. Very cool.
I'm sorry you don't like the people in the program better, though it is a good thing that you get along with the people at your internship so well to balance it out.
I had a make-your-own House marathon yesterday, because your sister bought the first season on DVD so I was watching it. (Of course I spent most of that time with my right leg propped on pillows because I reclaimed by clumsiness crown in grand fashion by falling really hard, twice in a row with a room full of people watching. Man I'm good).
