Summer, continued

Summer weekends are the best! I love not having homework (though a small masochistic part of me does miss it...). In order to get credit for my internship I have to do weekly "guided reflections" = kind of a pain but my only real take-home assignments for the next two months!

Work is still going well - still doing research and writing, still learning a lot about the ins and outs of everyday government law jobs. No real changes on that front.

C and I have been researching real estate lately - we're considering buying a house out here in CA (or maybe a condo). It's been very frustrating, though, because the CA market is still pretty over-priced (compared to the cost of property at home). Even tougher, C is about to leave town on work for a month, which will really stall our house-hunting plans. I'm not really excited about the prospect of searching on my own, and I definitely don't think I'd be comfortable putting an offer on a property that C didn't see/like as well. However, we're in a bit of a jam because our lease agreement ends in August... basically it's tough being an "adult" and I still don't feel like we're old enough or mature enough to be making these types of decisions!

Anyway, lots to consider this summer, not the least of which is a choice of career. Based on my experiences in the public sector so far, I intend to research govt jobs and possibly appellate law... jobs focused on research/writing. Definitely one path to consider.
