Today, I am hanging out in the UW Law Library. What are my impressions? The study area better lit, larger, and more comfortable. They also have access to the Chinese statute database that I need for my research assignment. One the other hand, it has stinky bathrooms with bad toilet paper, and the coffee bar "The Supreme Cup" pales in comparison to our "Sidebar." But enough of the rivalry, because the nice librarians have been a lot of help with my research.
Today was also my first day at work as a Westlaw rep. It was particularly uneventful, but I did get to answer a couple of questions. I was hesitant to take this second job, but it does looks like it won't be very intense. I can spend the slow time at the table studying. That is luxury I do not have with my research position, where all my time is on a task.
Over the next month, I will travel to Utah twice and Boise once. I really hope my contracts textbook will fit on the little airline trays, because I'll need to use every spare moment to study and work.
My usual Monday night ritual is to make spaghetti and watch House. However, last night was a special treat and a nice break from the pain of a memo-writing little-sleeping weekend. I went to Twilight mustache party with my friends Rebecca, Chrissy, Nathan, and Randy. Chrissy, who is the consummate gourmet of the group, directed us as we made (from scratch) pasta sauce, meatballs, garlic bread, and the noodles.
I was in charge of the pasta maker. :-)
I was the only one who didn't need to wear a 'stache. (Nathan took the picture)
