Wow, that was a busy couple weeks!

I know, I know. I'm a crappy blogger. The gaps between posts are too big, and people lose interest. I'm sorry. That said, the last two weeks have been pretty damn busy. I was given my first practice exam question for property, as well as my first graded assignment in my writing class. I felt pretty good about the practice question when I completed it and emailed it in, only to find out later that I had done a remarkably poor job on it. So much for an early-semester confidence boost. Luckily it was just for practice, and it doesn't count towards my grades at all. After that, I got my writing assignment, which I have been agonizing over for about a week. I spent a good deal of time planning, writing, rewriting, meeting with other students, rewriting again, meeting with my TA, rewriting again, meeting with my TA again, rewriting again, and so on.

In more interesting news, I have my first day in court this Thursday! I will be spending Thursday in court meeting with victims of domestic abuse, potentially finding the person I will be advocating for this semester. In a similar vein, this week is also the week that I get trained to advocate for uncontested divorce applicants (also a part of the Domestic Violence Action Center). It's going to be a very busy week!

Today I got up and took the subway down to Tribeca where I marched with the Fordham OUTLaws (the legal LGBT group) for marriage equality in New York. I got there around 11, when I met up with the other OUTLaws. We then moved over to Foley Square, where there were people making speeches on the subject from noon until about 1:30, after which we marched across the Brooklyn Bridge, holding signs and making our beliefs well-known. It was really a blast, and I'm looking forward to doing more stuff with OUTLaws!

I'm sure I'm forgetting things that have happened, but for the moment I can't think of anything else. If I remember something that I forgot to mention, I will be sure to write another post, or perhaps add to this one. But until then, I'm calling it a night.
