I’m not going to spend much time on my actual interviews besides saying that they went well, and after a point it’s hard to distinguish in my mind between one lawyer at one firm and another at a different one. The offices look the same and things start to blur. I do, however, want to elaborate slightly on the hand lotion incident mentioned below.

Contrary to Ian’s suggestion, there are not puddles of hand lotion sitting in the street in Portland (I’m up here interviewing at the moment, not in LA). I was walking between firms #2 and #3 for the day–about an eight block walk. I had stopped at a street corner to wait for the

Interviews went well; am exhausted; got hand lotion splattered all over my suit by a passing car; more later.

So today was a ridiculously hectic with respect to law firms wanting to give me interviews. Rather, the fifteen minutes between 4:45 and 5pm this evening were ridiculously hectic. Let me back up:

I came home and called an attorney (Attorney #1) I’d been meaning to call to talk with him about his work and working in Portland generally. I already have a screening interview scheduled with his firm (Portland Firm #1) at 10 on Thursday. That went well, he was very friendly and provided some very helpful information.

I started my second year a month or so ago and am taking an array of boring-titled (but quite interesting) courses like “Intro to Federal Income Tax.” I am also in the middle of job interviews for next summer and, most likely, where I’ll work following graduation.

All my finals are done.

I’m off to Portland/Driving Back Down for the next week.

I’m leaving tomorrow morning to head down to Westwood with my dad and a rental truck full of one small appartment’s worth of furniture. It’ll be a fun, exciting, long (and any other adjectives you’d care to through at it) drive. Last day at work was today; it wasn’t the usual hectic end of summer rush, but it still had its moments. I’ll be back on Sunday for another two weeks before heading down for good this time.

I’ll post pictures and a better description of my appartment when I return.

I also plan on posting more regularly once school starts (threeish weeks) and I have interesting things going on that people want to read about. Presently I
