Last Week at Work

This week is my last week at the internship. I feel a little sad because I will have to say goodbye to all the nice attorneys and co-interns who I have come to be very fond of. Today was actually the first time I've been in office because yesterday all the interns drove to the State Capital for TK's trial. This is the first time TK is first-chairing a criminal trial, I think, and he did a really good job. Looking at him, I could hardly believe that this was the same boy who was my freshman counselor.

Today I rode in CC's truck to the State Capital again, to hear TK's closing arguments. TK was phenomenal, and afterwards all the interns agreed that the jury would definitely find the defendant guilty. On the way there and back, CC and I had really nice conversations. We found out that we had a lot in common. CC continues to be my favorite person at work (though JS comes in a close second, and MM close behind - oh me and my obsession with ranking things). I really hope I keep in touch with him after the internship (and with the others as well, of course).

After work the interns went to a little Mexican place, and I had a little margarita. The rest of the day I ate only fruits. The weather was brutal today -- 96 degrees. I nearly died when I ran the mile around the W-Square this morning. Near the evening there was a violent thunderstorm, and it cooled down, but only a bit. Nearly died again when I ran my mile in the evening, but very proud of myself. :)

I thought I would feel sadder about my last week at work, but I think I'm still adjusting to the idea - and tired. I'll sort everything out when I have my energy. For now, it'll be an early night in for me.

Also, booked my flight to Indianapolis for GenCon this weekend. I'll be hanging out with ABS and his "gaymers" for 4 days! Then flying over to DC to visit Dickie. Yay.

:D laughing and talking with CC
:( Nothing, really, just tired.
