Woohoo!
Okay, I take back all the whining. I have been feeling depressed and unmotivated lately, but I got a big boost today when I found out...I got a summer job! Actually it's a fellowship I applied to. It's sponsored by a conservative religious organization, which I'm aware sounds horrifying to many of you. ;) But it will enable me to get some experience doing First Amendment policy work, which is an area of law I'm considering as a career - so it's a great opportunity for me, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to take it. So, hooray!
I'm amazed at how big a difference that one piece of news made. I seem to have gotten moodier since I started law school. One bad grade in a class sends me into a big sulk, and one piece of good news makes me feel like everything's going to be okay. I even bought some stuff from Amazon in celebration. :) Tomorrow will still be mildly stressful because I have a(nother) writing assignment to do, plus some phone calls to make and a couple errands to run. But I'm going to focus on the positive, which is that I will actually get some legal experience this summer! w00t!
