So, I'm in the new place. Yesterday I got cable, hooray! This should mean I have internet access in the apartment, but no. I do not. I guess I have to find an office and get a cable modem. Until then, at least my building provides me with free access. (And free laundry, too!) There are boxes everywhere. I can't seem to get the gumption to actually finish unpacking. After watching a video about civil procedure for 3 days, it's hard to have the energy to breathe.
Anyway, I should have a telephone tomorrow. This is good because I'm getting very lonely and I miss chattering with my friends and family. HopefullyI'll start meeting some friends here soon as well.
OK, enough of that. I just finished my first graded essay for bar review and if I hurry, I can watch both episodes of ER before I go to class.

Apartment!
I found a place, a lovely, lovely place that's convenient and quiet. I even met a neighbor! I just ordered cable, phone, and internet - everything I need to survive. I have a long weekend, which I love. So I'm taking an ill-advised day off. I should be studying for the bar. I should be figuring out when supplemental jurisdiction comes into play and teaching myself mnemonics. I should, I should...forget it, I'm not gonna. I'm going to celebrate with a beer and bad television.
My cat is going stir crazy in the hotel room. No toys, nothing fun to do. He doesn't believe me about the new apartment. I can't wait for him to figure out the new place. Years ago, when I lived in Alabama, we had a huge deck where he could hang out. In Cleveland, nothing but a window. Here, he'll get a balcony, and maybe even a plant. Are there safe plants for cats? I don't want to kill him with greenery.

Background
I just got here, here in Maryland. It's not where I'll stay, but it's been a fabulous welcome. I came from Cleveland, where I just finished law school. Law is not what this blog will be about. Everything is what I want it to be about. (Forgive me for ending sentences in prepositions.)
I think I'm completely in love with this area. DC is close; I'm moving to Northern Virginia on Saturday. It's so green and people are friendly. I'm starting over and starting fresh. This is the first time I've ever done this move on my own. I have a bit of Elle Woods - I Did It!
So, I'll post again tomorrow, before I lose internet for a few days. I figure that my luck can't hold, so I won't have cable or anything late 20th century for a while. Fingers crossed, I'll have utilities (high tech ones) by the end of the week.
Until then, enjoy the holiday weekend. I know I will.
