First Summer Days

Last Saturday was the firm's charity baseball tournament. I attended last year as the newest member of the firm, and this year it already feels like home. Although I didn't play, I had a great time being a quasi-babysitter to everyone's kids. It was a gorgeous summer day, and I only got a little sunburnt. ;) Summer in this city; there's nothing quite like it!

countdown - 7 weeks

7 weeks! In 7 weeks I am going to be a real lawyer! I was preparing my paperwork for the Law Society today, and it's really starting to sink in. I can't wait. Come party with me! =)

deported

Tomorrow the new articling student starts at our firm. So, unofficially, I guess I'm done my year. Things are pretty much lined up for the bar admission, as long as I can make it successfully through this week.

Duncan bought me a really pretty dress last week, for the ceremony. Pretty excited about that. However, also 'exciting' is that my father was deported on the final leg of his journey in a Minneapolis stopover, because he didn't have a transit visa. Just great. In his words, after travelling 25000km in 48 hours, he isn't sure whether he'd want to do the trip again in a hurry. I was apprehensive about him coming, but trust me, him not making it here at all is infinitely worse.
