Do They Know It's Christmas?

So I realized I haven't updated this in eons and the final 3 people who were even reading it have probably been lost forever. It's been a busy life...

The bad news: I didn't get the job I really wanted. They decided to only to extend offers to their Summers from last year and not to any additional entry-level lawyers. I'm not giving up forever, tho, and have made a mentor-friend in the woman who originally interviewed me. So I do not have a post-grad job yet and it's making me a wee bit nervous.

The good news is that the rejection lit a fire under my butt and I got myself both an internship AND an externship next semester. So in addition to taking 5 units of "work," I will still be taking 4 regular classes. It's going to be one nutty semester -- especially Mondays, when I'm working at Sony and then in class until 10 p.m. ugh. Then I have to wake up and drive all the way to Orange county the next morning for my externship. Hope it all works out and I don't lose my marbles along the way.

I've made it thru one 25-page research paper and one 3-unit final. Just three more finals left and then home for Xmas. I'm looking forward to spending some additional time with my family, since usually I get out of school around the 22nd and only spend about 5 days at home in Sacramento. I plan on sleeping tons.

It doesn't feel very Xmassy here in L.A. Only a slight chill in the evening to remind us that it's not June. It's one of the times I really miss NYC. A friend is having a Holiday party tomorrow nite and I'm hoping to go later for about an hour. Have to study TRADEMARK all day tomorrow, tho.

Better get to bed. I'm exhausted.
