I got a JOB! (or "avoiding my rhetoric assignment")

"Rhetoric" is what we call our first year legal research and writing course here at WCL. It's only 2 credit hours per semester, but it's easily more stressful and frustrating and any of my 3 or 4 credit courses.

So I've got a paper due a week from Monday and I'm supposed to produce a draft of the first few bits by tomorrow afternoon. It's not really all that bad, it won't take all that long once I get started, but I am finding my motivation at a particularly low ebb right now. Strange that I can effortlessly produce way more than the page limit of the final draft (12 pages) in the form of blog posts, emails, and IM converstaions in a single evening than I can for this paper in two days. Actually, it's not that strange at all.

You see, rhetoric is supposedly especially important for that first year job hunt, but I've already got a job lined up for the summer.

*fanfare*

Yeah, I got a job. I'll be working for Kohn, Kohn and Colapinto who, despite being a private firm, are decidedly NOT evil. They've got a fantastic internship program (unpaid, but then almost all first-year summer jobs are for law students) and so I get to learn the ropes of my new profession in the context of doing work that I actually care about. I'm giddy.

I am on a path in the Old Forest, two miles past the Bonfire Glade. Total to date: 80 miles.
