Sittin' alone

I think my blog is turning in to a replacement for someone to really talk to...

Anyway, I did this mock interview program at school today put on by the career services people and some alums. My interview was at 2, and my last class got out at 11, so I was kind of bitter about having gone home, got in the lawyer-drag, hose and heels, and then driving back to campus for some fake interview that wouldn't have any hope of landing me a job, but it actually went really well and I feel strangely better about this whole job search/career thing. The lawyer I met with was really nice, said I comported myself very well and would be fine, reassured me about my grades, told me I should find a good job cuz I was good candidate, and then suggested I go in to litigation because I was very self-possessed, poised, and spoke well. That was kind of a nice bit of ego-boosting, and one I sadly needed.

I could use some advice about my summer plans though. The one promising job bite I had is back in CA, I have heard nothing back from them, and the situation just isn't going to be as comfortable as I had thought it would be. So probably, even if I get the offer, I'll end up turning it down if I manage to come up with some alternatives. I was invited to apply to a study abroad program run by one of the other law schools I was admitted to, they have a comparative law program in Oxford and an IP law program in Munich that both look really good and worth applying too. So, what do I do? CA, Oxford, Munich, or stay in VA? What would be the best career choice?

The sourdough bread turned out really well. My peel maneuvering is still somewhat lacking, so the loaf got a little deformed and developed a goiter, but it has the best crust I've ever produced, a great tang, and is nice and chewy and moist. I'm quite pleased.
