Law Students

Great Progress

By Andrea

Things are rolling along after Friday's win in court. Yesterday my client got free of the hated, painful electronic ankle bracelet she'd been wearing for six months. She nearly danced a jig. She's getting her work permit and going to check out the various benefits and classes asylees are eligible for. From all that fear to sudden security - it's got to be such a shock. A reporter also talked to both of us about her case, so I hope that turns out well and I have a link to post soon without dumb quotes by me. For someone who was a student journalist, I don't think I'm very good at being interviewed yet.

In family life, Becca used to ignore me when I came to pick her up from daycare. Then for a while she cried. That was lovely. The last month, she's been grinning. And today, when I appeared in the playroom door, she said, "MOMMY!" Yay!

I only wish it were time for the Tournament of Champions to air. I forgot how lame it was to not tell anyone what happened for months.
