Two Empty Drawers and a Porch

Who has two thumbs and a bed to sleep in at night? 

*points to self with thumbs* 

This guy.

David and I officially moved into our place in Foggy Bottom after my last post and we have been busy getting it set up. The couple we are subleasing from are terribly nice and have an amazing apartment but seem to have taken almost nothing with them on their three month trip to Europe. As we explored our new abode we came across two small drawers with post-it notes marked "empty." Every other conceivable storage space is bursting with either clothes or books. They have a lot of books. And pictures of themselves. Almost every inch of wall space is devoted to pictures of them. Which is nice in some ways and creepy in others. 

They left some food that they told us to finish off. That was very nice. 
I made pasta. Everyone is shocked, I'm sure.

David and I haven't had much fun as roommates yet. Our constant witty banter has only increased since the last time we lived together, of course, but we've both been so busy with work that we haven't been able to watch even one episode of Boston Legal yet. I'm sure after I'm finished with Write-On and he is settled in to his firm we will have more time.

I have continued to enjoy my internship. The commute is a bit long, but I can read on the way and I look forward to what I'm doing every day. I had a meeting with our executive director today about possible cases to use for the Summer Institute. He asked if I had taken Criminal Procedure and I said I had (though we call it Criminal Justice). He then said "oh, okay, I was wondering whether you had a course or whether you just knew all this stuff because you were smart." 

Lesson learned. From here on out when asked if I've taken a course the answer will be "no, but I know everything about that topic because I am smart."

This Sunday is Will and Julia's wedding. Should be fun. Until then I'll be in Baltimore but working on this Write-On thing. Less fun.

  1. I was wondering who the people in the background photo were...

    And I think the answer to every question should be "because I am really smart." It'll get you far in life.
