I GOT A JOB!!!

So last Tuesday, I got a call from this immigration lawyer that I had interviewed with almost 3 weeks ago. And she was calling to offer me a JOB! I was soooooo excited I am now an employee at Gee Law Firm :) I went to the library and renewed my book about Immigration Law. The job is currently only parttime, about 15-20 hours a week, but maybe I will get more hours later. Anyways, I started on Thursday and it is awesome. I get to work in this little office building, sharing an office with her. It's such a real people job, with a break room area (with FREE coffeeeeee/tea/cocoa) and I have my own key/clicker to get into the building! I have my own desk with plenty of very cute office supplies. On Friday, she sent me off to Office Depot and told me I would have fun because they have cute paper clips :) I bought the colorful ones, of course. And now I have a cute pencil cup holder too! Anyways, so far I am loving it. On Thursday, she took me to lunch at Ming's, this cute Chinese restaurant similar to PF Changs, but much more authentic (the sad part is that I actually prefer PF Chang's lol). Anyways, I spent most of Thursday working on putting together a client's adjustment of status packet to be submitted to the USCIS. So an adjustment of status is when someone in the US is changing their status from visa to permanent resident. And the USCIS is the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Are you impressed by all the new stuff I learned already? Because I am :) Anyways, just wanted to share about my new job!! Have a great weekend :)

Shopping for paper clips!

few more checks off the list

hello everyone, this is the other half of the M & M project. margaret is away on a sorority retreat so i thought i would do the writing this time. our last adventure ended with her and i surfing and since then we have crossed off quite a few more things on our list. margaret was just recently employed at Geppetto's Toy Store and starts on the 23rd of this month. how exciting is it to know that youre girlfriend can now get you discounts on all the coolest and latest toys (not like i still play with toys anymore *cough legos *cough) anyway she will now be a working citizen!

i on the other hand am spending money rather than saving it. i just recently bought myself a surfboard from craigslist and not day has gone by where i haven't wanted to go. my job seems to be getting in the way of me successfully going each day so maybe ill ponder a career change, hmmmm. the same day i got my surfboard margaret and i went for a hike in torrey pines. we took a road that lead us to the top of one of the cliffs overlooking the pacific ocean and man let me tell you, she was beautiful....and the ocean looked good too :)

so thats our update for now and many more items will be crossed off our list in the near future. im already planning a road trip up to see margaret in the bay area and were going to hit up a Giants game baby! playoff runs can be pretty stressful. now i must get back to my drawings as i have a couple portfolios due next week along with a final exam. as soon as marg returns ill have her post all the pictures.

p.s. i will also be posting some more of my most recent studio work where i was assigned to design a student housing apartment complex. full model and final drawings will be posted and any feedback on what you think would be awesome!
