I can't believe how time flies
So I'm working this fall in White Plains, New York, which is about 20-40 miles from NYC. I'm living in Darien, CT, with one of my fraternity brothers who lives there. His family is very nice, and the work isn't bad. It's pretty interesting to read everything and learn all these stories. I think that's one of the most fun parts of law: telling it like a story with a conflict and trying to get resolution. Overall, I think I would like to be a lawyer, but definitely not a full-time paralegal when I graduate. I didn't give myself much of a break between the end of summer term and the beginning of work. I had a week between the two, but boy, what a glorious week it was. I got up at noon just about every day, dedicated a day to eating in the north shore or Massachusetts, and ended up seeing my family in Boston, since my bro just moved in to Boston University.
I'm up in New Hampshire today until Sunday to run a 24-hour relay race from Franconia Notch to Hampton Beach; it's called Reach the Beach. Overall, it's about 209 miles long, and I'll be running three legs at an average of 5.8 miles/leg. I'm doing this race with a bunch of fellow rowers, and this is very cool to me. Earlier this summer, I biked 100 miles with my fraternity brothers in the Prouty, which is an annual fund raiser for the Norris Cotton Cancer Center in New Hampshire. That was rough, but an incredible experience. I'm hoping this will be in the same vein. I had forgotten, though, how cold it gets up here in September. It's like 65 degrees Fahrenheit right now, and I only brought t-shirts and shorts. Whatever. I'll be running, and when I'm not, I'll be in a car sleeping, so it's no big deal.
Overall, I think this fall will be pretty nice since I'm working, but I will be glad to get back into the game of things at Dartmouth in the winter. I'll be able to come up here pretty much whichever weekend I want, and I can go see my bro in Boston. I'll probably do that next weekend.
I'll be back in Tennessee for about a week around Thanksgiving, which is when my job ends. I hope to see some people at that time.
Hope everyone enjoys fall term! It's probably my favorite time of year.
