Interviews from hell...

aah...these past couple days have been really crazy...all of course a direct result of my type A personality wanting to do everything all the time...i need to be forcibly relaxed.

yesterday was strange...i had this 15 mins volunteer thing at the ga center...(yeah 15 mins..i know)...so i take a bus there which takes 20 mins...then i get there...and all of a sudden i realize that i was supposed to be dressed up...my lame ass is in jeans...baggy jeans....great...so i ask what i'm supposed to do...and i'm told that i have to help the other 25 or so volunteers usher certain bigwigs to their lunch tables...great...so i stand around...people manage to usher themselves in...so i get ready to begin my 20 mins journey back and i'm told that i have to go have lunch now...i was like what! i have class...but i had to go as each table needed a student...so i find my table...its right next to the podium...there goes my plan for a covert escape...finally people start pouring in...and some nice ladies ask if they can sit with me...then some lady takes to the stage...and turns out i'm at some private fundraising gala thing....she wants to recognize the volunteers...so too my embarrassment...i have to stand up in my scruffy clothes and stay standing for like a few mins...uggh...meanwhile the president of the university is sitting at the next table staring at my "business CASUAL" attire...i finally get to sit down...and then bear the rest of lunch...the only cool thing was that i got to know the director of the law library...met Dean Beard...and had the best strawberry coconut icecream cake ever!

then that night...went to the 1L employer mixer...that was cool...did the rounds and met all the folks...but i had a headache so i left after a while...then later that nite went to anna's...that was a lot of fun...i can't believe how many law students it takes to figure out catchphrase..hahah...but it was fun...especially when my friends are tipsy...well i had to leave early cuz of my busy next day...


which is today...interviews all day...got in at 8:30AM...didn't leave till about 6PM...met so many people...grinned on cue...dried my sweaty palms...and in general tried to pull of suave...haha...but i was glad when it was over...one firm was hilarious...both the interviewers seemed a lil "happy"...i guess from the night before...to prove they're great guys...one of them showed me the open beverage citation he got from the police at 2:30AM the night before...other gem questions from that interview include - what karaoke song would you sing? what strikes you odd about this picture (shows me pic of swimmers with a guy in a speedo)? man...what a day

well..i'm home now...and pigged out on nachos...and i'm really trying to find an excuse not to study anymore...

tomorrow should be fun...i go to town to surprise hema for valentine's...taking her to fired & wired...and just hang out for a while...then in the evening i'm going to my friends' parents' anniversary party...will be good to see folks i haven't seen in months...so tomorrow might be fun...let's hope it doesn't rain much...

that's all for now...

oh yea..i sign the lease to my new apt for this fall on monday...glad to get that outta the way...i'm movin in with two guys from my class...dave and shawn...one's a wanna-be philosopher and the other one's had one too many growin up on the farm adventures...should be fun.
