This weekend was pretty uneventful – I stayed in for most of it so that I could catch up on my class readings and start studying for an upcoming quiz and midterm in my course. The slow weekend was welcome though, since it was a frantic week at work as we were scrambling to meet an impending deadline. My attorney sent me to court to file a complaint, and although I was a bit intimidated, everything was completed successfully. You forget that filing a complaint is really just a law clerk behind a glass window stamping your document, but it was an exciting trip nonetheless.
Later that day, we heard rumors that Laura Bush was shopping near our offices in Georgetown. Another intern and I went to track her down, and eventually found several black Ford SUVs filled with the men of the Secret Service. We finally spotted the First Lady shopping with one of her daughters, but we were too intimidated by the Secret Service guys to approach her. I wanted to snap a picture on my cell phone, but I was scared that (a) I would get pummeled by the men in suits, (b) that they’d confiscate my cellular, or (c) that they would do both. The Bush clan smiled and waved though, which was pretty sweet.
I’m pretty exhausted from running around at work, and hopefully next time I’ll have a more exciting weekend to talk about. Until next time!
