The good news is that next week I have a job interview! I bid for an on-campus interview and was accepted last week. This summer job, unlike the other externships I applied for, is a PAYING gig! I'm not sure how many other people were tapped to interview, but I'm excited to have my first law school-related job interview.
This brings me to ultra-frustration #1 in my life, which is buying clothes. For this interview, I really need a suit. One that is smart and fits well and makes me look like a professional. The problem is, people don't make suits in tiny-size. Anywhere. C and I wasted time-that-should-have-been-spent-studying at the mall trying to find a suit that fit me. Any suit. The problem is that at 5'2" and at slim-lbs, I have the body proportions of an extremely short middle schooler (trust me, I taught them. Most were taller than I was/am). The smallest suits I could find were still ridiculously baggy on the top and ridiculously long in the pants (forget skirt suits - I am apparently 7 inches too short to fit into any of those).
I have three more days to find myself a decent looking suit. My hope is that I can find something that will pass for Wednesday, then can get a suit that I can tailor to my exact proportions. In a fit of disgust, I ordered 2 suits online from a "petite" clothing store, so hopefully one of those will fit/be tailor-able in the future. However, this doesn't help in the Wednesday-interview department.
The end result of this rant is that I hate wasting time shopping for clothing that doesn't fit. This might be the reason why I always look like a pre-teen. The "grownup" clothes just don't fit. Whenever I go clothing shopping (for regular clothes or suits), I end up getting really bummed and buying workout clothes. Sadly I cannot wear these to my interview...
