It does seem rather official, all these forms to complete and the syllabus which came in the mail. Now I'm getting scared. There's stuff on this syllabus I don't even know what it is, much less how I'm going to explain it to other people. Aieee!

On the bright side, I am learning how to ask people for favors, and have already started sowing the seeds of "help me! help me!" with a couple of attorneys at work. Heidi, who's going to be my supervising attorney, was a former prosecutor. Bwahahaha! I also plan to solicit guest speakers from the private investigators who've worked on a couple of cases that I've seen flit through the office.

Tomorrow's my birthday and so Rob and I are going to celebrate Valentine's Day the old fashioned way -- Return of the King at the Cinerama! Wheee! I think it's a nice thing to not have to go out to a fancy dinner or something romantic in the particular. I like romance; I'm a hopeless romantic. But I also want it to be a personal romance, and Rob knows that I need to see the movie again on the big screen :)

Oh! the other day when I rode the bus to work, I saw a passenger a few rows up reading my newsletter! It was all I could do to keep myself from leaping out of my seat to accost this stranger and tell her, "I did that! That's my newsletter!" I don't know how I'd react if it were maybe a book with my name on the cover; after all, my contribution to the newsletter was an entirely new format and a short bit on bylaws. I didn't really write it, so it's not my newsletter. Still... it was cool to see someone else read it cover to cover.
