Oops... I've been slacking!

I didn't mean to wait so long to post, but it's amazing how quickly time goes by. Let's see... where did I leave off?

Well, it ended up turning out that I got selected for BOTH the PCASA program AND the Hunton Williams Pro Bono Partnership. I hardly expected to get picked for either one, let alone both! I asked Dean Emery what I should do, and she said that as a 1L, I probably wouldn't want to do both. So I decided to go with the PCASA program. Tuesday night was the first night of training, and we learned a bit more about what sorts of things we would have to do. I'm excited because apparently there are a few families who speak Spanish who have been on a waiting list to get served because no one in the PCASA office can speak Spanish and as a non-profit, they can't afford to hire interpreters. Generally, training is supposed to be Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but because of Rosh Hashanah, there was no training tonight. Instead, we're pulling a double training shift on Saturday morning/afternoon. I'm really excited about the program.

Oh, and my memo... Well, we got them back on Wednesday. I did pretty well, but definitely not as well as I thought after I finished it. It turned out that my biggest problem was in the logical organization of the memo. When doing your analysis, you're supposed to use the IRAC formula: Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion. According to the comments on my memo, I was tending to mix-up the R and the A. We have to write another memo this week. It's actually going to be TWICE as long, so I need to really focus on making sure I have the correct organization this time.

My section had softball practice tonight. I got up to bat 4 times, and each time I hit the ball on the first pitch. That's pretty amazing, considering that at the last practice, they probably had to throw me 15 pitches before I actually hit the ball. Anyway, the first time I went up to bat, I was thrown out at first. The other three times, I got on base! It was pretty exciting. Knowing me, though, that will be the end of my lucky streak and I'll strike out during every game we play. Tomorrow morning is our first game.

I'm reading Catch-22 in my spare time. It's hilarious. I was worried that I wouldn't like it, but I really do. It's so funny. I'm super tired, so I think I'm going to shower and crawl into bed.
