Howdy, y'all. Back in Tejas for the summer.
I've finished my first year at Hahvahd and right now I'm working in the public defender's office. It's going pretty great. My supervisor is writing a manual on criminal statutes that trigger immigration law and I'm helping her write it, for which I get to be credited. I also can write pretty much on whatever statutes I want and use that as my writing sample for interviewing in August. That means most of my job is statutory interpretation, which is my favorite thing. I also get to work from home 3 days a week, which is an awesome deal and means I get to save gas and spend time with my niece (who just turned 1).
Y'hoshua is stuck in Massachusetts, though, because he needs to keep a job.
So far the summer is on the whole a net positive. The sunshine really helps my mood and my physical pain (no idea I had so many muscle/nerve issues until I moved to a cold climate). I have a season pass to Six Flags, which is actually gonna be pretty therapeutic for me (between the sunshine on my muscles and the endorphin rush for my mood). I'm attending a Western Rite church down here, which is nice, but I've gotten so used to the Eastern Rite I'm having a hard time adjusting back. My anxiety has been picking at me lately. There's not a lot of real stuff to worry about for me right now, so it really just seems to pick out something random every night and make it into a big issue. So yeah. Both a prayer request and a praise report.
