- Going to class
- Special note: I'm the only person who actually read a case (US Court of Military Appeals) our crim professor included in "supplemental materials." I think I gained some brownie points.
- Special note 2: I didn't volunteer. Our professor said "Did anyone read the case?" and then I raised my hand. I was the only one to raise my hand.
- Question: Does that make me a gunner?
- Vacuuming
- Cleaning the bathroom
- Two loads of laundry
Because it has been forever and this is a personal finance blog, I wanted to give you a list on how I have been frugal lately:
- I eat lunch for free nearly every day at school. No, I don't have any interest in joining half of those clubs, but I'll take the free chipotle/pizza any day. Don't judge me - there are starving kids in Africa and I'm doing my part to ensure that food isn't thrown out and wasted.
- I crashed the undergrad's club fair and made an entire lunch on their offerings.
- Speaking of such, I won a giftcard to a local pizza place and an Amazon.com giftcard.
- I am a fiend when it comes gaining Westlaw and LexisNexis rewards points (more on that later!)
- I have not been to the mall nor the outlets since I arrived.
- That's a lie. I went to both. I bought a gift for my coworker using a giftcard I had (score!). I also bought a pair of shorts for $10.
- That is actually all I bought at both places.
- I stopped going to Starbucks. I started going to the coffee stand guy on campus. He only charges me $1.25 and throws in the ice for free.
- I splurged today and bought lunch at a fancy Thai restaurant today for me and the boyfriend. It was $13.20... thank you, San Diego Restaurant Week.
Speaking of the boyfriend, this is us at a wedding last weekend. I've learned that every backdrop in San Diego is gorgeous...

Speaking of weddings, I'm flying home on Friday to see my best friend from high school get married. Everyone is getting married - except me. And I'm okay with that.
I'll do my best to update more frequently, friends!
Good to hear from you Kaylan. Sounds like you're doing well at law school. Nice job scoring all the free lunches. If I could get something like that I'd be all over it. Switching off of starbucks is impressive too. I know regulars there always get all picky and not want anything else.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I had Starbucks that it actually tasted weird the other day when my boyfriend got me coffee! Thanks for the warm wishes. :)
DeleteKaylan! I am so happy that you seem to adjusting well to law school life and to Southern California. I hope you are really enjoying yourself. And hey... I was totally a sucker for the Lexis and Westlaw points!! I received so many amazing things with the points. You will have to let us know what you get throughout your time in law school.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I have my eye on a Kate Spade purse (Westlaw) and Ray Ban sunglasses (LexisNexis) not to mention, the huge variety of giftcards (LexisNexis).
