Last day...
The end of a workday and the end of the month and it gives me a moment to pause and think about what I've learned since I started working in the Hall of Justice. Tomorrow is the last day of my internship here. I didn't realize just how many cases that the courts settle before they even get to trial... probably 80%+ of the cases are settled before a trial is ever needed. My Judge has been a phenomenal teacher to me... talking to me about the law as well as life. She has been a mother to me as well... taking me to lunch, talking about life, even cracking bad jokes with me and trying to set me up with her nieces...haha. Anyhow, I will miss the people that I have come across, the people I have met, even the crummy old desk that I sit at every day. As for the commute every morning from my sister's house, I think I can live without that... the crazy #47 bus drivers that believe coming to a screeching halt at every stop sign is necessary. I'm surprised I haven't seen someone fallen over and broken something yet... it's kind of sad seeing an old grandmother clutching onto a handlebar for dear life.
Living closer to the city hasn't been quite as exciting as I thought it would be... partly because I don't live near downtown or anywhere the action is and maybe partly because I'm gettin older. I feel that alot of my friends have their own lives to lead... large group get-togethers are more rare and I hear more about weddings than the next big party in town. I guess in a way, I'm approaching the stage in my life where friends start drifting apart to start their own families or make a larger dedication to their career paths. Time just moves so quickly these days that if you don't stop and enjoy your youth, it'll be gone before you know it. Haha... I sound depressing right now. In a way I'm recounting my summer as well... my oldest sister is now married, my other older sister has recently become engaged, and I'm now out of a 3-year relationship (Which I won't now discuss... perhaps another time). This has certainly been a summer to remember, to reflect upon, and hopefully one that has made me a stronger person. *Hold up... someone in the hallway just let out three disgusting belches. NASTY!* I have two more weddings to attend this summer... two of my best high school buddies are tying the knot this summer ... one this weekend, another in 2 weekends. They're good guys and I wish them nothing but the best. As for me, I can't really think about marriage at this point in time ... maybe I'm jaded, maybe I need some inspiration, maybe I'm just not ready. All in good time though, right? You're ready when you're ready. For now, I'm just going to live things day by day. ;) (Hey... anyone want to tell me how to post some pictures or tips on how to spruce up this page?)
I'm definitely willing to try something new. ;)
