I was promoted about a month ago to “Legal Assistant II.” Not a functional change, but came with a nice little raise. I also led the launch of a cool internal tool for our department; shouldn’t say much about it, but it has been fun to act like a Product Manager for a few months!
Lots of buzz in the the air about all sorts of stuff in the tech world the past several weeks and months. What a privilege it is to be in the middle of it all.
Volunteering as a Translator with Kiva
I’ve been a big fan of Kiva.org for a long time, and now I get to help them out. I’ve just been on-boarded as a volunteer loan request translator, and have completed my training. Be on the lookout for loan requests translated by yours truly!
First Law School News, and Killing Time
I heard back from one of the schools to which I applied for early non-binding admission. They said that while they were able to make final accept/deny decisions for most of the 1,500 early applications they received, they were going to hold mine for further consideration during the general admissions cycle. Better than a “no”, and it was a top 15 school so that gives me some extra hope for the other schools!
Now that law school apps are out the door, I am looking for some good ways to fill my time. I checked on French courses at the San Francisco Alliance Française, but they have already started the current session. I didn’t have a great experience at the Alliance in D.C., either, so I think I’m going to pass on that.
A while back, I sent in an application to be a volunteer translator for Kiva. I took the language test this week and sent it back, so hopefully I’ll hear back about that in the next few weeks. I think that would be a cool thing to do. I’m a big fan of Kiva, as I wrote a while back on Tropophilia.
