So yesterday I turned in my final paper for legal writing and research.  I did it.  Its done.  I’m very excited.  Legal writing and research is by far the easiest class - I suppose because you actually get regular feedback and grades from it.  Its like a normal undergrad class.  But hey, we’ve got exactly 30 more days before the end of the semester and I KNOW I’ve passed at least one class!  Its a pass/ fail class, but I may have earned myself a check plus… we’ll see.  A check plus, while silly as a grade, can be an edge in getting that super sweet summer internship. 

 Right now I think that I want to focus on being a criminal prosecutor or defender.  I have a friend of a friend that is THE defense attorney in my home town, which is large enough to count for something, so I may look into an internship there. 

 I thought that I was interested in being a civil rights lawyer, but realized that the work wasn’t my style.  I am more of a front-lines activist, than a behind the scenes lawyer for that type of struggle.  I’m more interested in simple, basic law that varies often, but presents a clear steady picture of what to do each day. 

 Plus that other stuff seems hard to me. 

 Anyhow, one class finished!
