Miriam visits and other things

So, Rose's sister Miriam came and stayed with us for a week a couple weeks ago and it was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures of our adventures, I hope they don't embarrass anyone.



Rose (& Jordan) at Chincoteague Island Wildlife Sanctuary



Miriam, Jordan & Rose at Chincoteague Island Wildlife Sanctuary. We saw a wild horse from quite a ways away, cranes, cormorants, ducks, and geese. Oh, and a couple chipmunks.

Jordan, Rose, Miriam, and Ben at the World War II Memorial




Rose & Miriam at the National Archives, where the keep the Constitution and Declaration of Independence among other things, which you can explore here.


Rose starts her new job tomorrow as a Production Assistant for Home Made Simple on TLC. I think that's pretty cool. It's a contract job, so it only lasts a couple months, but I'm sure it will lead to bigger and better opportunities in the future.

I'm still tenaciously searching for my summer job which is quite a challenge with things as they are. It's a bit more competitive than in years past, or so I'm told, but I'm sure I'll find the right place for me. It's just a matter of finding the right people at the right time. It's difficult deciding what you want to be when you grow up.

I also registered for classes today which was very exciting. I went to an open academic advising session with Dean Johnson and there was nobody else in line, so we talked for a good 40 minutes about my schedule. He said he'd never seen the actual registration process, so I registered right there with him, which was very helpful for us both. I'll be taking Evidence, The Federal Circuit (from a Federal Circuit judge and BYU/GW Law alum), International Law, a Constitutional Law Seminar on the Supreme Court, and Jurisprudence (from a woman with a PhD in medieval Arabic philosophy, yeah I know, awesome), which I guess is something like legal philosophy.

Anyway, I'm excited about that lineup, should be a great semester. Plus I have no class on Friday, which I think is because no law professors want to teach on Friday. Also, I don't think they like getting up early because it's hard to find a class that starts before 11 a.m. I think that's wonderful.
