I Love Lexis, Too

With just 29 days to go until I leave West Virginia (and law school) forever, I have a few things that need to be wrapped up. I'm packing up my apartment and have a great big pile of a number of different boxes, some of which I will give to my parents to take home when they come to visit next weekend for the academic awards ceremony, and some of which I will take home when I go for Andy's birthday the weekend of April 15th. The rest I will need my parents to come move when its a little closer to the end--I can sleep on the floor for a couple of days, of course, but I'd rather not sleep on the floor for a solid month.

I also recently got a list of things that needed to be cleaned in order to get my full security deposit back from my landlord, and I am taking that very seriously, too. I'm trying to clean everything on that list as a preliminary exercise and then I'll re-clean it just before I leave. I want that whole security deposit back! In college I never had to worry much about this stuff, but leaving an apartment is a big deal!

Goals for this weekend:
1. Clean bathroom (partially completed)
2. Empty laundry room of superfluous crap
3. Empty linen closet

I've also worked on packing up a lot of the clothes in my room. How much do I need, anyway?

And one of the last things I have to do--is redeem my points on Lexis. Just the other day I redeemed my Westlaw ones, but I was hoping to get a few more on Lexis before the end of the semester so I waited a bit. I was able to redeem my points on Lexis for $175 in gift cards that can be spent all over the place--pretty sweet deal. I plan to use it for a couple new outfits to wear to take the bar (in Virginia we have to dress up!). I'm pretty excited. I'm a big believer that the outfit is at least half the battle. And I intend to be prepared.

Law school is expensive, but some of the perks are pretty okay, too.

On a side note, number 1 thing I won't miss from West Virginia--snow storm in April. No snow is definitely, definitely preferable. The snow today has some of the biggest flakes I have ever seen! It's building up on the roads a little--I hope it doesn't really accumulate, though. I really do hate snow.

Still, 29 days. 29 short, short days.
