Bittersweet experience to graduate.

Well, as much as I want to be done with school, I am sitting right now a bit nervous of that moment. Last week, during my spring break, I spent three days in court interning and I think I did pretty good...we'll see once I actually produce the transcript...but believe it or not, that's not what I'm scared about. I'm actually really excited to listen to a bunch of depositions and court proceedings (I really want to be in criminal court one day). But, right now is my typing hour in school and I don't have anything to transcribe, so I started making a list of things that I need to start collecting in order to be prepared to go out on jobs...and I know I'm definintely missing some things. Here's the list:

Professional software w/audiosync-$3995.00 (I have to have this to be able to work)
Executive carrying case-$250.00
Professional tape recorder with microphone and headphones-$625.00
Exhibit Stickers-$50.00
Extension cord-$10.00
Three hole puncher-$15.00
Two hole puncher-$15.00
Stapler-$8.00
Laser pointer-$25.00
Pointer-$7.00
Briefcase-$25.00
Misc. (pens, highlighters, etc)-$10.00
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grand total=$5,034.00

Now, this doesn't include the new machine
that I would really like to have which is the
Elan Mira. That alone costs
$4795.00 but this is not a necessity right now.


So the grand total of everything that I want is $9,829.00.
I can't wait to see Josh's face when I let him in on this little secret. I wonder how long it will take to make up all of this money that we are going to have to spend...
