First- Evidence exam. I think I did okay. I believe i pulled it off. I believe I managed to make it seem like I had a grasp of topic. we'll find out in a couple of months.

Then - Reception at The Firm. I go to these things with feelings of dread. I'm not very good in large crowds. I'm good in small groups, and kick ass one-on-one, but large groups make me feel so awkward and ick.

But it surprisingly went well. Because, of course, if you're lucky, large groups turn INTO small groups. And I got even luckier, because for a while, it was one-on-one with a very cool first year associate who I hit it off great with, and we had a nice talk, and I look forward to working with her next summer!

Then the dinner I had was just amazing. I went out with a group of people who had already accepted the offers for next summer, and some really brand-spanking new associates. The "Look At the New Bag I Bought to Celebrate Bar Passage!" group. They had just gotten their results, and the relief still showed on their faces. We had a nice time, and the food was just soooo amazing. I know I'd always heard that you get "wined & dined," but .... wow.

They also have these great things called Taxi Vouchers. Now, perhaps that is something that *most* people know about - but it was new for me to be given this little ticket that meant instead of walking 5 blocks (in 27 degree weather) to get on a train - if I made it before it stopped running - and then riding around in tunnels for 40 minutes before walking another 4 or 5 blocks home, I got to hail a cab, and fill out this little paper, and otherwise, have a free ride home, all in 10 minutes or less. I liked that. They even gave me an extra. For some cold day in the future.

Today I must finalize and print 2 papers. I finalized and printed the third yesterday. I'm having more fun right now choosing new Podcasts and reading my favorite blogs. But if I finish, I could go home and take a nap .... so I'll try and go finish now.
