I got my computer back after it’s been on “vacation” at the apple store for almost two weeks! It is definitely a sign that I am overly reliant on a piece of technology if I think it was the longest two weeks of my life…but it was! I hated not having my own laptop when I needed to do my research, check my e-mail, write my paper, etc.

But now, it’s all better and now I’m looking ahead to the next big thing…a trip to Kansas tomorrow! I leave fairly early in the morning and for the first time in my life, I am all packed more than 12 hours before I have to leave. This is big, people. This never happens. However, somehow I managed to get it all done this morning before I went for a run and to the law library.

I am really looking forward to the symposium later this week but also to the time to spend with my mom, who will be visiting from Ohio, and my friends of course (and my dog Sunshine–how could I forget?!)…

Not much else has been going on in the last few days. I’m still getting lots of congratulations and positive comments about Barack Obama being elected as president. At the election party we were at the other night, the regional TV station came in and I made a quick appearance in my Obama t-shirt…good times! I’ve also played some soccer…too bad we lost again. It’s a shame, but we’re improving slowly but surely. The good news is that I am now in sole first place as topscorer of the whole club. Check it out here. There are still plenty of games to play in the season, so I’m not getting too arrogant yet, but it’s kind of fun!

I better get going on cooking some dinner soon and finalizing all the things for tomorrow. See some of you very soon!

tot ziens…
