So, perhaps one of the single greatest things ever happened to me on Sunday. Okay, maybe that’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but it was really awesome. So, to first understand this story, you must know that I am a hardcore, die-hard, bleed-red-and-blue type Red Sox fan. In that regard, I was super excited to hear that they were in town (and by town, I mean Baltimore, which is only about a 40 minute ride away from the Hampton), and playing the Orioles. I arranged to go with my friend Rob to the game on Sunday. We woke up pretty late, but got to Baltimore around 12. We ate a quick lunch at Pickles Pub right across the street from Camden Yards. It was at this point that my flip flop broke and I was forced to walk around part of Baltimore with one and 1/2 flip flops. Anyway, we bought really cheap tickets in the outfield at the box office and decided to go inside. While walking to our assigned seats, we saw a few empty seats about 20 rows behind the Sox dugout and decided to sit down. We sat and enjoyed a few innings, but spotted some empty seats about 5 rows behind the dugout and decided to move down there. Finally, during the 6th inning or so, it began to RAIN! Everyone decided to either leave or return to the comfort of their box seats. Instead, my friend and I moved down to the first row right behind home plate. In fact, my dad called me at one point and said, “Sweet heart! Are you sitting in the first row at the Sox game?! I just saw you on TV!” I could practically reach out and touch the players(although I’m 99% sure you’d get kicked out of the park). It was absolutely awesome!
Yesterday, two of my friends, Alex and Haidar, came into town. They will be here for a few days, and aside from the idea of sleeping on a couch, are really in love with what they’ve seen so far. Today, after work, I am taking them to the National Museum of Crime and Punishment. Apparently, they have over 100 interactive exhibits including crime scene reconstruction and an area where you can analyze ballistics testing, fingerprinting, etc. They even have Al Capone’s jail cell and Ted Bundy’s car! I can’t wait! I’ll be sure to write all about it once I actually go.
Speaking about the law, my internship is going really well. Tomorrow, I will perform my first investigation and witness my first trial prep. I’ve had practice honing a keen eye through training here at the office, and will actually get to employ these skills when analyzing the apartment tomorrow. Then, if the case goes to court, I get to testify! On Thursday, I will be going to court to take intake from clients. “Intake” is conducted at the very beginning of forming a complaint. Basically, its taking all of the information about a specific grievance. On Friday, I will be out and about in the city serving people legal papers. Just like the title says, I have a very busy week!
I hope to get the the memorials and monuments at night at some point in the near future and will definitely get to the National Holocaust Museum and the National Zoo soon as well!
Until next time!
