This past weekend I requested a stipened from Michigan State to attend one of their visit days. Last night I received confirmation that they will give me the amount I requested which will cover my whole flight! I am excited for a number of reasons. At this point I have only been accepted at two law schools and I have already visited Creighton, so I feel it is incredibly important for me to visit and get a feel for MSU and the area. I also have a friend from Camp Geneva who attends MSU who is willing to let me stay with her for the night, so not only will I have a free place to stay but will get to see someone I love a heck of a lot. I am also looking forward to having a break from DC and seeing some familiar faces. Probably the most exciting thing is that Tim and Tami will be able to get me from Lansing and I can stay with them for a couple days and see my nephew baby Jericho!!! I will have to miss a day of class and a day of my internship but it will be totally worth it.
Back to the present, it's my second week at my internship and I'm getting more comfortable with my duties. This afternoon I went on my very first solo "court run." I went to the DC Superior Court buildings to bring documents to be filed, get copies of files, stuff like that. It doesn't sound like a big deal but it's kind of a complex process and I was very nervous I would mess up...but it all went pretty smoothly. I've also been doing some "legal" writing of sorts-I have written a few summaries that are being sent to other organizations about cases we are unable to take. I'm not really sure if what I am doing is important, but I'm just going to try to do a good job. My Dutchness mixed with the lovely weather led me to abandon the costs of public transportation in favor of walking home from my internship. I think the internet told me it's about 2.7 miles but it took me about as long as it would to take the bus home. Don't worry mom, I'm being careful.
