Actually, I'm just in it for the money

So I'm sitting here in the lobby of my esteemed legal institution, doing my level best to hock tickets to the Equal Justice Foundation Auction... ok, let's be honest here, my "level best" amounts to occasionally looking up and trying to will people over to the table to support me by spending their money.

So what is the Equal Justice Foundation Auction? Well, the Equal Justice Foundation (EJF) is a public interest organization here at the law school that promotes public interest work by giving out $3000 grants to students who do unpaid, public interest legal work during the summer. The Auction is where the EJF gets most of the funding for said grants. Unfortunately, the good people at EJF don't actually just give these grants away to any unpaid, summer public interest worker. They require all applicants to help, in some small way, to put the Auction together. "Some small way" of course translates into "no less than 10 hours" and so here I sit, trying to hock tickets to fulfill my requirement and qualify for that shiny shiny grant.

So come to the Auction! It'll be fun! Free drinks! Free food! Neat stuff! Wahoo!



Am on my way north again after spending the night in a Barrow Down. It was... cold. Definately not going on my list of "great places to stay." Ah well, at least I got this shiney new sword. Total thus far: 116 miles.
