Would like to thank blog reader Amanda for sending me this - I crack up every time I see it.
Not thinking about it too much. Spending most of the day jamming out to my two favorites:
And g-chatting. My friend Lindsay is a second year law student with a job at a big firm this summer. For you non-lawyer readers, this means she makes way better grades than I ever made. It probably also means that she's way smarter than me, although we could attribute her good grades/opportunities for a future to the fact that she studies a lot more than me. So let's go with that.
ANYWAY, we were discussing her big summer, and since I am OBVIOUSLY qualified for advice on how to succeed in BigLaw/life, I offered her some advice...
Lindsay: and i seriously better get that job offer...
bc if not i'm kind of shooting myself in the foot
haha
me: i'm sure you will
me: just don't do anything stupid this summer
only sleep with associates, not partners
Lindsay: OMG
hahahaha
that's the worst advice ever
me: lol
no it isn't
Lindsay: yes it is
me: lollll
Lindsay: you're absurd
me: DUH.
tell me something i don't know.
Lindsay: DUH
Hopefully I have good news to report... should be about 24 hours. I'm actually feeling totally fine right now. Thank God, since about two weeks ago I was having dreams almost every night that I failed. I DID look up how much plane tickets would cost for me to get on a plane tomorrow afternoon and go to Miami or LA or somewhere if I fail, but other than that I'm doing fine. Fingers crossed work is busy and distracting tomorrow.
Thanks for all the good thoughts and well wishes, either way! It's much appreciated!
So now I am totally singing that Final Countdown song, only in my head, I am dancing around with a cape and magic tricks, a la Gob Bluthe.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you...sending good vibes your way.
You, my dear, are doing WAY better than I am. The only thing getting me through the day was my hour of binge drinking during lunch. I am sending good thoughts your way....
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!!! Hope it all works out!
ReplyDeleteTell your friend that besides avoiding legal malpractice and remembering that Westlaw actually charges lawyers in the real world, she should strive to avoid being the drunkest summer associate at any given event. Oh, and don't hit on the managing partner's son. That's a good rule, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending good luck vibes your direction for tomorrow!
You will be just fine! I know it! Kori xoxo
ReplyDeleteSending positive mojo your way!
ReplyDeleteKeeping my fingers crossed for you!!
ReplyDeleteOf course if you come to LA, we'll party it up. Ke$sha style.
Good luck! I'm sending positive thinking your way!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, good thoughts and prayers sent, drinks being toasted to you in advance congratulations!!!
ReplyDeletegood luck!
ReplyDeletegod luck, girl! sending tons of positive thoughts your way :)
ReplyDeleteriddle me this: is she really so smart if she's willing and eager to work 80 miserable hours a week?
ReplyDeleteI friggin love my 40-50 hour a week, 8-lawyer firm. I get paid perfectly well -- and if you were to break it down by HOUR, I end up getting paid more per hour than the 80-a-weekers.
It's such a sad, strange punishment for those who get the best grades. (or maybe people are masochists and they don't consider it punishment. I do though).
good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe last 24 hours are the worst. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best today!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Legally Fab!
ReplyDeleteUGHHH waiting for the bar results is seriously the worst thing ever!! * Sending Positive Thoughts*
