down, now, into the darkness
Feb. 17th, 2006 09:43 amthis stressful little week is finally about to draw to a close.
i've had job interviews up the wazoo this week. some of them have gone better than others. i'm getting very sick of them, and i hope they result in at least some call backs...lest i feel like i wasted my entire week. i have two more coming up soon...one with spencer fane today and then one with reinert and rourke on tuesday, which i just found out yesterday that i landed. sometimes i feel good about how this week is going, sometimes i feel rotten about how it's going...right now, since i'm blogging, it's pretty clear that i'm feeling rotten. i need to shore up and feel good by 1:20, when i'm all dressed up in my suit and ready to interview again.
last night was a lot of fun...i went out for sushi with chris. :) it was really nice to go out and have a nice dinner, between us. we're going out on saturday night...that's barristers, so instead of being a nice dinner for me and chris, it's one for me, chris, and 200 of our closest law school buddies.
speaking of barristers, i have a dress, finally! i went out shopping with hilary, and i finally found a dress! it's strapless, goes out at the bottom as any princessy ballgown should, it has a shawl...and it's FIRE ENGINE RED. i've always wanted a fire engine red dress. i'll be in a fire engine red dress, chris will be in a tux, and it will be shiny.
other than that, not much going on except for trial. we are leaving for kansas city on the 28th, so it's the last week and a half of preparation before we leave town. it's scary that we're coming down the home stretch. i'm getting more nervous by the day, but our case is really coming together so hopefully we'll be smooth and ready for competition when it starts. i can't wait to compete again...but i want to feel good about my parts, and i don't have that feeling yet. i'm getting there on my defense witness, although i still feel several galaxies away on my plaintiff witness. i need to change that--hopefully the meeting on saturday will help shore it up.
time for me to crawl back into my hole.
