Molly and I got sworn in today at the Superior Court of Richmond County in front of my parents, lil_sis_alli, and my old boss Jack and his wife, who is now one of my bosses at GLSP. It was fun. I almost got a little choked up saying the oath. It's cheesy and idealistic, but it means I'm a real lawyer now with obligations and duties. Yikes. The other ( Read more... )

My little brother's baseball team got their photo in the paper for winning their tournament a couple of weeks ago! How cute is that.

Allison and I went to Athens today. First time I've been in almost six months. I didn't even spend that much money, so I'm very proud of myself. We had lunch at the Grill with my best friend's younger sister who is considering going to law school. I was trying to fill her in on what lawyers do and what law school is like. Then we shopped.
