Finals. Good gods, I can't believe i am doing these again. I always forget how intense everything is during finals. How even the smallest concern about something not even related to law school can blow up until it is entirely out of proportion to how important it actually it to you and your life.
I'm through with one final (Criminal Procedure) I just have Con Law and Evidence to get through. Three and a half days. Then I am going to drink, celebrate being halfway done. And then spend Christmas with my family - and try to remember why I am doing this to myself.
In other news, I interviewed to volunteer at this non-profit legal aid place the other day. I really want to work there, but I think I blew the interview. They said "they'd let me know in a couple of days.... or maybe a couple of weeks so you don't have to worry about it during finals." it sounds like they don't want me and just didn't want to tell me during finals. I wish they would just let me know that I blew it so that I can deal with it and move on.
I feel terrible about it to. Like, if I can't interview well I am never going to even be able to compete for a job and then I will die in poverty. Or, even worse, never get to do this job that I REALLY want to do and feel like I missed my calling in life.
Is there any worse fate?
I'm sure there is, but I would still be pretty miserable.
In my defense, thought, it was a strange interview. They didn't really seem to know how to interview - so there were a lot of long awkward silences where they looked at each other or me and I had NO idea what to say. I was expecting to be asked difficult questions "tell me about a time you made a mistake in a former job" or "Why did you decide to be a lawyer?" Or "what would happen if a client told you that he was really a serial killer with a little girl in the basement but he told you this in confidence?" So, maybe it a different kind of an interview I will be fine - or I am just blowing this whole thing out of proportion because I am insane right now.
