I uploaded my "Day in the Life" photos... but the Ofoto website was down. Really, the photo documentary will go up one of these days!
The work week has been full and very busy. I'm learning new things (e.g. corporate tax issues), which is really interesting, as well as practicing and polishing my research & writing skills. Did I mention that I really like my firm, particularly the people that work there? The attorneys are smart, competent, and for the most part, generally very down-to-earth and nice. And what great secretaries! Each time I get lost on a floor of our building, I only need to ask a secretary and they are always so obliging and kind! Plus there's a great cafeteria - I ate portobello mushrooms for lunch, amazing! And free coffee (too accessible, so I haven't given it up yet)!
I attended Vision Church last Sunday, and really enjoyed it. The roughly 100-person congregation is composed mostly of Asian-American (though mostly Chinese-American) young professionals. They made me feel welcome and I felt pretty comfortable around them... it almost felt like college fellowship days again. It was nice. I'm still not sure where to commit to for church - admittedly, another month or isn't much, but consistency is still valuable.
Tonight I hung out with Dave and a fellow UW Law classmate who flew out to interview for a court law clerk position. Brunch plans galore for the weekend - tomorrow I'll meet up with Elei (who I haven't seen for 4 yrs) and Danielle (one of Joy's oldest friends) and Sunday, I'll get to see Shaila, Jeff Hui and Dave.
Editing for Law Review continues. Only two more edits for my own student piece, and it's off to the printers!
I'm surprised at how adjusted I feel to this city. I wonder if it's still the novelty and/or temporary nature of my stay here that makes it feel comfortable. Or all the friends/acquaintances here? Perhaps if NYC became my home for the indefinite future, I'd yearn far more for the West Coast. However, making this place a home for a limited period (a few years?) is starting to look like a real possibility...
