Time takes time, you know...

This semester is already flying by.

Here's just a brief update on my life:


Last weekend, my Uncle Bud passed away and I had to go home for his funeral. He was the only other sibling of the 6 that really grew up with my dad, so I know Daddy took it hard. However, Uncle Bud had fought for around a year with very bad lung cancer, so I'm glad he's not suffering anymore.

This weekend I had Magistrate court mediation training- ie, trying to get small claims to reach their own agreement with the help of a neutral third party, so they don't have to go to court. I enjoyed the make believe sessions a lot and am looking ftorward to learning more about mediation.

In school, I'm taking income tax, trial advocacy, employment law, child protection and the law, and alternative dispute resolutions. It's a busy, intense semester with trial ad (I'll have a full trial to do before finals), and I feel like I still haven't quite caught my stride this semester.

Tomorrow is the boy's bday, and I'm looking forward to celebrating with him and giving him his presents! They're just little things, but I hope he likes them.


And now, back to my opening statement I have to give tomorrow. Blech.
