the senator

so yesterday I met Senator McCain and his wife. The boy, Georgia, T Charlie and I had gone to the Atelier at the Four Seasons for dinner before Grad Ball. As we were leaving I hear the boy say "Hello Senator." I turn around, and sure enough there's John McCain and his wife. The boy knows one of McCain's personal friends from work, so he got to name drop a little. Then I wished Mrs. McCain a Happy Mother's Day. We were all in black tie on a Sunday night, so she asked us what was the occasion. We said graduation from law school and it turns out they are in town for their undergrad daughter's graduation from Columbia as well. Maybe we'll see them again at the ceremony (serious doubts here). Anyways, that was pretty cool for a Sunday night.

Today is my 24th birthday! The boy and I are going to Babbo to celebrate. Continuing the week long non stop party that started last Friday. My parents arrive tomorrow!

Hmmmmm.

I am sort of against the whole blogging thing, but then again not really since I am obviously blogging. I used to think it was silly for people to write about their ordinary, everyday life events, but then I started reading old friends' blogs and realized that they can be a fun way to catch up on peoples' lives. Also, I tend to get bored at work and therefore need something to do during the day other than constantly check PerezHilton.com for gossip updates.

So, a little about me now. I just finished my last year at Columbia Law School and I graduate next week. I was born in Waco, Texas. My parents and brothers still live in Waco. I left Waco at 18 to go to Boston College. After I graduated from BC, I headed down to New York City (where I've always wanted to live), and I'm still here. I'm working now as a law clerk (code for "haven't been admitted to the bar yet") at Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld LLP in the Investment Funds group.

That's sort of it. I'm short. I have brown hair and blue eyes. Oh yes, and I'm a republican. In New York. That's really fun :)
