This was a short week due to the July 4th holiday. It was such a blur that I’m not exactly sure what I did each day (which is why it is so important to record time on a daily basis, I suppose).
In terms of projects, I’m slowing down with two weeks left and, for the most part, have chapter updates left to tackle. Chapter updates are the quintessential not-real-work summer associate assignment, but I can learn something from the exercise, so it’s not a complete loss. I also have to be thankful for some more interesting work that I received earlier this summer.
Socially, I grabbed lunch with an associate who was my next door neighbor back when we were undergraduates. One of the things I like about Summer Firm is that acquaintances from other parts of my life (e.g., high school, family friend, and sorority sisters) work in various offices of the firm. I might never work with them directly, but it has been handy to be able to ask for their frank opinions and I have been reassured by highly thought of friends and acquaintances choosing the firm for themselves.
I wish I could say that I’m having a fantastic holiday weekend, but I spent most of my day completing a final edit of a journal article (the HORROR!).
