| | posting has been really sporadic as of late. =( i'm thinking, again, about putting this on blogspot, because xanga is so 2000.
but anyway! the school year is over, thank God! finals went alright, some better than others, and being sick during most of them was a real bummer. fortunately, CSU has a great medical plan, and a visit to the clinic combined with a bottle of $3.99 amoxicillin fixed me up just fine. we headed up to niagara falls for a quick spontaneous getaway right after my final ended...we were going to wait a day, but then we checked the weather and decided that it was better to leave early, and it was, as usual, a lot of fun!
i started my summer job at The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland on the tuesday after finals ended. boy, this job is a gigantic blessing! the work is hard, the hours can be long, and i have to work on saturdays at times, but i have never had a job before that has given me as much satisfaction and enjoyment as this job does. my supervisors are extremely supportive and encouraging and i feel very comfortable with them. the work is interesting and i have already learned a TON. i have had the opportunity to do many fun things as part of this job too; i have already been to The City Club twice to hear very interesting speakers and i am scheduled to go again in the future. additionally, i attended the Cleveland-Marshall Alumni Luncheon at the Renaissance Hotel as well, which was great and made me feel much prouder about being a student at the school. my tax prof won an award, which makes me more excited for the fall because she seems like a very qualified and talented teacher.
of course, the cavs lost to the magic in a heartbreaking series. man, i took this loss much harder than any cavs loss in quite some time. it was a great season, though, and a few free agents and good moves by the cavs will get us the personnel to get to the finals (and win!) next year. the indians are sorta chugging along--i tune in every now and then, and it seems that they win when i do, so maybe i should tune in more often! of course, i am counting down the days until the browns' season and fantasy football begin...i am very optimistic and hopeful! just did my first official fantasy football mock draft today and was very pleased with the results, although drafting T.O. isn't something that i'm crazy about doing.
umm...i'm not one who thinks that being in the working world is better than school simply because one's evenings are free, because i believe that one's mind can get stagnant when they're not learning regularly, but it has been nice to be able to play some tennis and get through a good part of harry potter 6.
oh yeah! my car was hit from the rear when i was visiting 402's house last week. praise God that neither sheila nor i were in it though! the damage is pretty extensive, but the other party's insurance is picking up the tab, and hopefully all of the repairs will go well and get my car back to the condition in which it was before the accident. it was a pretty surreal experience--walking outside and seeing my car on a treelawn when it was originally parked on the street can really mess with your mind--but i'm grateful that i have a nice rental car (also paid for by the other party) and that nobody was hurt.
i think that's about all! oh yeah, if you're a Virginian, please vote for terry mcculiffe in the primary on tuesday, june 9th! i'll be making phone calls tomorrow night and tuesday, and i hope you can get out there and help elect a leader who will help Virginia continue to be a well-led and prosperous state!
