14 hrs, 54 minutes from Chapel Hill to home. Stopover in Chambana to dump some of my belongings/make sure the apartment hadn’t burned down. 10 weeks, 6,100 miles. And so, the adventures have come to an end… well, N.C. adventures. Back to where I can see the scenery when I drive, to a land of [...]

I don’t know. Main St., downtown. Another part of downtown I had yet to see… shocking! Richmond has MANY statues, here is one that is not actually in the middle of a real road (unlike monument avenue… where there are many in the middle of intersections. exciting to drive down.) The capitol statue and the [...]

I work in public interest. I was told this should mean…. expect little to nothing. Not so! I work in a small town. We win free chipotle for lunch. Sometimes work buys us ice cream or sponsors a happy hour. Whee! Our internship outing was perhaps the most unexpected… and probably much cooler than most [...]
Pam Goes to Charlotte

At this time last week, I believe I was eating Mexican food of ambiguous quality in downtown(ish) Charlotte. In approximately five minutes I would leave to put my sunglasses in my car and run into Carter in the street. I would proceed to not recognize him for about ten seconds because apparently you don’t get [...]

When I told my cousin I was working in Chapel Hill, she thought about her visits to the area (her good friend lives in Raleigh) and her reaction was, There are a lot of trees there. My brother came down last weekend to visit the great state of NC. I told him this story. He [...]

Last week was the week of several intern outings. First, we lost one of our beloved interns, as he was doing a split summer with a firm in Miami. So we had a going away dinner at Carolina Brewery. Delicious! Then, the next day was a firm outing to Durham to see baseball: team usa [...]
