update on summer

Since when has summer been so busy? School's out for summer and I thought life would be a breeze, but I feel like we have an even busier summer schedule. We've both been working what seems like nonstop but I guess that's what happens when you become an adult. Can I just pretend that I'm still young enough to order from the kid's menu? Great. Because I still do...
Sam started his first internship and was gone all day + by the time we ate dinner, did the dishes, and fulfilled our other responsibilities it was time for bed again. So boring! But even though it's not the ideal summer, we are working hard, making the best of things, and squeezing in time for fun.
So here's a lil' update:

Summer started with Sam's internship in Del Mar. It was at a great firm where he met many lawyers #networking and had the opportunity to go to court. But many days were filled with hours of scanning and he wanted a little less scanning, more law clerking.
Then an opportunity arose for a law clerk position in La Jolla. Sam interviewed the next day and got the job 3 hours later. He starts Monday! Hooray for more experience, flexible hours, and higher pay!
Triple whammy!! 
I worked every day last week and it nearly killed me. Working on Fridays during the summer should not be allowed! P.S. Friday I worked at a Sedation Dentistry office which was probably the weirdest experience of my whole life! I learned it's really hard to clean people's teeth when they are sleeping --8 hours of snoring patients who nearly chomped off my fingers.
Sam took the GMAT on Friday and rocked it!! Now we wait to find out if he gets accepted to USD Business School. If so, JD MBA here we come + one more year of school for a grand total of 4 years. Not too stoked about that. But what's two more semesters in the long run right? 
June gloom is finally clearing up and the warm summer days are starting + we finally bought a surf board so we're taking every opportunity to go to the beach. I sometimes forget how amazing it is to live by the beach but I'm reminded at the start of summer vacation because the visitors literally take over! 
We are learning to enjoy this new type of summer. And as we are finally getting into the swing of things, it's turning out quite nicely.
