Google Analytics is awesome

Google Analytics shows a lot of interesting things. It shows me that most of my traffic comes from PD Stuff and that I get really weird search engine results ("the difference between metrosexual and homosexual").

I realized recently that it will show Network locations. I was bored so I took at look at that section. I now know that at least 4 people have looked at my blog from their law firm computers. Two of the law firms do criminal defense work and one of them is from the city I want to work in. The other two firms are IP firms.

I said I wouldn't do this

... but I gotta tell someone. I am a disaster with women. I was horrible in high school and bad in college. I was assured by my father and others that law school would make me so much more attractive to the ladies. "Hey, check out my earning potential." I was skeptical but more than willing to be proven wrong.

I was not wrong. I remain a failure despite my new "earning potential."

I've dated in law school but each time after a week I've known that it wasn't going to last. I'm ok with being single in law school. I just worry sometimes that if I don't find someone in law school I will be pathetic and alone the rest of my life. I have no idea how to meet people outside of school.

I can't do the whole bar scene. What kind of story would that be for my kids? Yeah I met your mom at a bar one night. I much prefer my parents story of "You dad asked me for the answer to a question on our history test." Cheating in history class, a match made in heaven.

I can't cheat in law school, so I how am I supposed to meet anyone?

Woohoo

One day after my minor freak out and I have an interview. This is an interview with my top choice office. Very happy right now.

Getting a PD internship shouldn't be this difficult

Both of my roommates have job offers now. Most of the people I know have job offers now. I haven't heard anything. I can't even get the offices I applied to to answer the phone. I'm finally having a minor freak out about my lack of job prospects for next summer.

I think I need to expand my geographical limitations and just accept the fact that I'm going to have to find a crappy apartment somewhere for the summer. Living at home for free would be nice, but not living with my parents again would also be nice.

I think my cover letter is solid. Both the career services people and one of the attorneys I worked with over the summer took a look at it. My resume is chock full of activities that show my interest in helping the less fortunate in our legal system. According to career services I should have my GPA on my resume. I don't put my GPA on it because I was told by one of the attorneys I worked with that it isn't needed. Either way my GPA is better than bad but less than awesome. My writing samples are both on both came from briefs I wrote over the summer.

I called the offices to inquire as to whether that had received my application and ask when I should expect to hear back and got voicemail.

I think I must be doing something wrong. Anyone have any suggestions or see anything that I've mentioned that just seems wrong?

I don't want to turn this into a law school blog

I've been reading a lot of law school blogs and have learned a couple things that make me think I don't have what it takes to be a law school bloggers. Here is a short list detailing why I wouldn't make it in the law school blogosphere.

1. I have no real interest in detailing my romantic life. Nor do I have any interests in posting the graphic details about my sex life.
2. I'm not sure how many posts I can make about hating gunners. I hate gunners, what more needs to be said?
3. I have no interest in big firm interviews. It seems every 2L blogger has to talk about how Big Firm X is offering $2400 a week, but s/he really liked the partner at Big Firm Y that only offers $2300 a week. Oh your life is so hard.
4. Blogging about class and what happens in it makes it very easy for people to figure out who you are. I've already found 2 classmates "anonymous" blogs.
5. Most of the "funny" things that occur in class are only funny because of the context. Almost anything will seems funny after a 90 minute contracts class. Lawyers and law students are just not funny. Think about it have you ever heard of a lawyer turned comedian? Doesn't happen because we are boring people with lame stories.
6. Lastly I have no interest it letting you all know how busy I am. I'm sorry if you are really busy because of moot court, law review, interviews, class, your 4 clubs and a hectic drinking schedule. Maybe you shouldn't have over extended yourself so much. I'm so sorry someone held a gun to your head and made you sign up for all those activities. Whats that? you signed up of your own free will? Well I guess that just shows you have poor decision making skills.

I really need to start another internship. Senior Intern emailed me letting me know she has an interview at a large PD office in a large city on the West Coast. I'm excited for her and very jealous.
