Patience Pays

We use LexisNexis and Westlaw for legal research. You earn points from using either one which can then be used to buy something from their respective rewards catalog. So anyways, after months of painstakingly trying to get Lexis points, I finally have enough to buy a digital camera! I have a nice film camera so I feel it's a waste of money to buy a digital one. Doing it this way absolves all the guilt. A grand total of 11,446 points. I will be ordering it tomorrow!

Westlaw makes it a pain to get points & their selection of rewards isn't that hot so I just spend them as I get them. Don't have patience to rack them up & buy something substantial. I just ordered a Ralph Lauren tote bag (3500 points). This is my second bag - the first one was a nice Samsonite tote which I use for my books.

Barack Obama rally is this Wednesday morning on campus. Will have to skip my morning classes but who cares?! I have "Dreams from my Father" and my sharpie ready to go.
