21 & Invicible

This weekend went by way too quickly – celebrating my birthday at Villanova was so much fun. I miss being at school a lot, but being back made me realize how different the college atmosphere is from the “real” world environment. For instance, it’d be pretty unlikely to come across a beer bong or Guitar Hero in the upscale apartments of professionals. My friends and I went pretty low-key for the birthday celebration, and just had dinner and hit up a few bars in the area. But, I’m looking forward to celebrating it DC-style this upcoming weekend. Here are a few photos of me and my friends at Nova. The first photo is a friend and I at dinner, the second is some of us relaxing after feasting on steaks, and the third is a picture right before we headed out.

The lawyer I work with informed me today that only two out of every ten False Claims Act cases get picked up by the government, and usually only when it deals with Medicaid/Medicare fraud. It's a sad statistic, but it makes the work we do all that much more significant since every piece of information really has to contribute to solidifying the case (maybe Deval Patrick will let me steal some of his speeches too when I draft legal docs). However, the stuff we write isn’t “just words,” so I’ve really been relying on my English major. Luckily my lawyer is really helpful, so I’m not too lost when doing his assignments. Well, my DVD of HBO’s Entourage just came this past week, so I’m going to unwind while watching Arie throw a stapler at Lloyd. Till next time!
