the daily snivel

I just received an e-mail from the Director of the Legal Clinic informing me that after counting the votes cast by all 40 law students working at the Clinic this school year, I won the Greenspon Brown Award. I maintain that my good friend Karla was a much worthier candidate, and I intend to remind her of this today, but it's still a very gratifying accomplishment and I am touched that I am so well thought of by the people around me. When the nominations were announced earlier this week at our General Meeting, the Director read out some of the comments left by other students in their nomination forms. Let me tell you that I was blushing and hiding my face as these were read out. The comments glowed with praise and sung wondrous tales of my big heart, helpful nature, and tendency to not leave the Clinic until the wee hours.

Truth be told, I am quite veklempt. Very happy, and very humbled.
