I started my externship on Monday, so I have been pretty busy. Things have been relatively laid-back at the Department of Justice, but I have worked with my fellow externs on a memo. The environment in the department is good, as everyone is very friendly and assignments are fairly flexible. The supervisor has also encouraged us to see appellate arguments and administrative hearings whenever things aren't too busy.
I've also been meeting up with my sister and dad a bit, as my externship is pretty close to USC and my dad's office. Over the weekend, Chrissie and I helped Matt with a film project of his, although I spent the bulk of the time watching Matt's TiVo. I helped out a bit on Monday as well. Last night, I was able to use my sister's guest membership at the gym and work out with her and my dad. After we went to dinner, I went to see a screening of Shrek 2 with Chrissie and Matt.

Settled In
I have more or less moved into my room for the summer, although there are a few things I'd like to take to Northridge when I get the time. I was able to find a 'place' for everything, and things are starting to fall into order.
On Mother's Day, I went to Chuck E. Cheese with the family; since the twins are still young, it's less of a headache than the traditional brunch. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and it was good to see my family again.
Other than that, things have been pretty quiet around here. I've devoted most of my energy to settling in, and have taken some time for free reading and DVD watching. I also got to see my sister tonight, as she came over to see what my room looked like.
I'm probably going to spend the remainder of the week on random chores and tasks; I'd like to have everything taken care of before I start my externship on the 24th.

Moving Out
My exams have been taken, my papers are finished, and all I have left to do is move out.
Moving tends to be an ordeal for me, and I have less time to get out of here than I originally thought I would. However, it's generally easier than moving out of Bryn Mawr was (although I didn't have heavy things like microwaves or TVs there), since I only have to drive a few blocks to get to the place I'm subletting. I was also able to get some help from my mom, who took the stuff that I wouldn't need over the summer.
I've already carried the first group of things over, but I still have quite a bit of stuff to move, plus I need to clean and vacuum before I leave. It should be nice once I'm moved in, although I'll have to make do with dial-up internet access and won't be online too much for a while.
