This has got to be the coldest week I've experienced in years. Temps are constantly sub zero & it has snowed daily to top it off. I took the bus all of last week (except Friday) since driving was very treacherous. On one of my bus trips, a foreign student I had a class with last semester came & sat next to me. We had never spoken before & since I was hooded up I didn't think he'd recognize me. Next thing you know, "excuse me were you in my class last semester?" That started off the conversation & soon we were chatting like old charms. Told me his life story. The gist being he'd been in Ohio for a year, didn't have any friends to hang out with, & didn't get to go anywhere since he didn't have a car. Being the nice person that I am, I offered to be his tour guide once the weather warmed up. I'm thinking if this lawyering thing doesn't pan out, I'll become a therapist. Can't tell you how much people like telling me their life stories to the point where I get uncomfortable.

I've had all my classes at least once & I like them all. Two classes are with professors I had last semester & the clinic has started off splendidly. I was afraid that I'd hate a class which would've meant dropping it & having to rework my schedule which is no small feat since it also affects my work schedule. Work also began decently. Just picked up where I left off last semester & my co-worker is also back which makes it even more fun. Will be working about 17 hrs/week.

OK - I probably shouldn't even be writing about this but I found a website that streams movies online for free (no downloads required)!!! I was googling something yesterday & mistakenly stumbled upon the site. So far I've watched: Slumdog Millionaire, Taken, & Defiance and they were all really good. Take that AMC theatres . . . at least for now till the website gets shut down for hosting copyrighted material.
