Well I was supposed to travel down to Vancouver, WA to spend the weekend with my mother-in-law, but she became sick yesterday and asked us to put our visit off a few weeks. I can’t go down next weekend because I have my mock trial competition Friday night, and if I am in the top four (not likely) I have to do it the next morning as well.
I took a three day class on economics and the law, specifically on the economic balancers in the new South African constitution, and I have to do a six page final on it this weekend. I was going to do it down in Vancouver while Erik worked on his mom’s computer, but now I have to do it here at home, with 100 distractions. I might head to the library at school so I can focus. It will be nice to get this paper over with.
Amazing Race started this past Sunday, so I’m happy about that. I wish it was on all the time (like Survivor). It is my favorite reality show.
Today I’m going to Olympus Spa in Lynnwood with Brigitte for my birthday. You get in free on your birthday, but they are closed on Sundays, so I’m hoping I can get in free today. I spent yesterday with my family, and then relaxing and taking phone calls from the family who is too far to visit. I got an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins which was really good, and Charlie sang me Happy Birthday all by himself (I got it on video!).
I’m going to do a Mock Trial competition on February 27th, which I’m looking foward to. I enjoy doing it and I hope I can learn more about evidence while doing it. Evidence seems to be the most important class I’m taking.
Erik and I have been putting pu Elfa shelves in his office and our bedroom. This is a project we work on every January/February because the Container Store has a 30% off every January. The bedroom looks particularly nice. We ordered a recliner for Erik for his office which is supposed to arrive at the beginning of March.
