My DCed Life: Back to School, Redux
http://dckristina.blogspot.com/2010/09/back-to-school-redux.html
Monday, September 13, 2010. Back to School, Redux. After some 20 first days of schools, I still get jitters. And this year, I did not even start classes but I am back to school. Today was the first day of the mentoring program I am volunteering with. And I won't lie, I was a little nervous. What will my mentee think about me? What if she thinks I am boring or not cool? Silly thoughts since this is not about me at all. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 09/12/10 - 09/19/10 (1).

My DCed Life: All Politics are Local
http://dckristina.blogspot.com/2010/09/all-politics-are-local.html
Thursday, September 02, 2010. All Politics are Local. Although most people think of national politics when they think of DC, local politics are also kind of a big deal around here. Marion Barry anyone? Early voting in the DC Mayor's race started on Monday and the one early voting booth is right outside the metro station by my work. It's intense. Getting to my office past all the campaign supporters and weaving through the vans shuttling voters over felt like running through a gauntlet. 03/21/10 - 03/28/1...

My DCed Life: Back to School
http://dckristina.blogspot.com/2010/08/back-to-school.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. University Identification Card - Check. Residential Hall-Sized Closet - Check. Attending Orientation - Check. It is that wonderful time of the year. I used to love going back to school when I was a kid. One year, I even had a countdown. I was the kid who loved buying school supplies. Dork, I know. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My DCed Life: Top Cheffing It: Volt!
http://dckristina.blogspot.com/2010/08/top-cheffing-it-volt.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Top Cheffing It: Volt! Back when I was in college, I saw advertisements for a new show called Top Chef. Even though I was an avid Food Network watcher, I did not think I would become such a big fan. "How is this show going to be popular, you can't even taste the food," I remember myself saying. I don't think I will be whipping out liquid nitrogen or foam cannisters in my kitchen, but I feel inspired to try out some new recipes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 12/27/09 - 01/03...

My DCed Life: Foodie Family
http://dckristina.blogspot.com/2010/08/foodie-family.html
Sunday, August 22, 2010. Most of the people I know who cook inherited their skills from their moms. I had the good fortune of having two food-loving parents. I remember helping my mom cook dinner- both Vietnamese and American food- and bake goods for the classroom and many bakesales we roped her into. Julia Child (way before Julie and Julia), and the Frugal Gourmet (sigh, Jeff Smith, I never knew about the sexual assault charges against you). I'd like to think we were foodies even before it was cool.

My DCed Life: One Year
http://dckristina.blogspot.com/2010/08/one-year.html
Tuesday, August 24, 2010. It is hard to believe that it has been a full year since I first started my job clerking. On the one hand, I feel like I just started, on the other, I have seen and experienced so much. After going through a dozen trials, hundreds of cases, and thousands of motions, here are some things I have learned in the past year:. TV has nothing on what happens in real life cases. The term "complex litigation" is redundant. You never know what a jury is going to do. Subscribe to: Post Comm...

My DCed Life: Elephant in the Room
http://dckristina.blogspot.com/2010/08/elephant-in-room.html
Monday, August 23, 2010. Elephant in the Room. As much as I complained about moving and downsizing closets, a silver lining about the process was getting rid of stuff. Do I really need these notes from 1L year? When was the last time I wore this.or even knew it was in my closet? A pretty awesome elephant teapot I found at Goodwill for less than a dollar. I am tempted to go back and find more fun things, but then I try to remind myself that I am trying to get rid of, not accumulate, more stuff. 08/23/09 -...
