Week 10: Another book?

Monday we had Career Services Orientation in between classes. The nice people for the CSO handed us a HUGE manual about reaching not only summer but final employment. They told us that the first 10 weeks of law school we were supposed to just worry about our academics, but now employment is an issue to juggle in with all the reading, briefing, researching, writing, and final taking.

Can you say great?

So, me being me, I read the manual as a procrastination devise. I have decided that the type of law I would like is probably in fields of law that I don't want to practice. How does that work? I love to research and write- standard skills in the legal profession- but I also like to deal with big problems.  If I work in a public interest, the problems aren't as interesting and I would be spending more time in court. Not bad and probably fulfilling....  I need to now research public interest researching jobs.

All this free time I have.... right.  Now I understand why they don't want law students to work during winter break- they want them to spend the time applying for jobs.  Jobs that 50% of the time mean that you need to volunteer to do.  

Already looking forward to summer time.....

On happier news- I am having fun with friends. Probably too much fun since I could be doing so much more school work. My family and friends came down this weekend so I was not as productive as I could be. Tomorrow I need to make my list and then get cracking.

Off I go to read another book... ciao!
