The reason why not taking classes that requires one to do academic writing for an entire semester is a bad idea is 1) your sentences start to look like this one, and 2) when you have to write again, it takes you a ridiculously long time to come up with a five-page something that you don't completely hate.
I have to write a whole lot more this semester. And actually now that I'm back in the water, I'm glad. I even missed citations! Which is such a lie, because no sane person misses the hell that is legal citation.
In other news, I applied for a public interest fellowship for the summer and got my ranking yesterday - 8 - and I'm cautiously optimistic about it. The number of fellowships funded depends on how much money is raised, but in the nine years they've been doing them the only time they didn't fund at least 8 was the first year, and last year and the year before they funded 12 & 13. It's $4500, which is nothing like the $20,000+ the big firm summer associates will be making, but it would still be $4500 more than I made last year! which is an improvement, clearly.
Of course getting a job offer is also key. I'm kind of shamelessly slacking on that front. I have four interviews at the same job fair I got last summer's internship through, and they're this Friday; it will make for an ickypoo day. I really, really, really hope something comes of one of them and then I can just not have to think about any of it.
Something about winter always makes me so passive and blah, and apparently it's still true even when the weather is freakishly warm for the entire month of January.
Grades come out tomorrow morning, which is just ugh.
