Last Weekend

This last Friday, I took my first step toward finding a career with less malpractice potential and no billable hours. I met with a professor at my hometown community college to talk about teaching law classes someday - it was an awesome meeting. To help me get my foot in the door, he's going to let me come to his Law and Education class and talk about the student-athlete drug testing case that I worked on a couple years ago, and if things go well, I may get to substitute-teach for him.

I also dog-sat the Captain's dog, Duke. Duke is a big, hairy Collie/German Shepherd mix who likes to roam, tries to catch bunnies and drools a lot. He also likes to get up at 4 in the morning to roll in the grass and he farts like a trucker. I love him.

On Sunday, I moved into my own apartment. It was weird - I liked having a roommate. For one, there's always someone to talk to when I'm putting off another reading assignment, and for two, I know that if there's a sound in the house, it's being made by another human being and not a bloodthirsty alien. Right as I was drifting off to sleep last night in my new place, I heard the sound of a plastic bag rustling - I was then wide awake for another hour. Apparently I'm not too old to be afraid of the dark.

So, that was my weekend...exciting stuff. What did you guys do?
