Summer Plans

What to do for the summer is now becoming center stage. For starters, if you're an out-of-state student, you must spend your summer in Ohio so as to get in-state tuition. Tuition is cut in half so it's a sacrifice worth making. Here's what I'm sorta thinking about doing:

1. Get a job at a firm (very difficult as a 1L). I'm hoping to get out about 50 resumes & cover letters by Dec. 1. Ambitious? Nope, people send out 200 resumes and don't even get 1 call-back. It's an exercise in futility.
2. Summer in Oxford. Take 2 classes for about 6 weeks in England. Should be lots of fun, easy grades, traveling, etc. Nice but pricey.
3. Become a research assistant for one of the professors. Pay is minimal but looks nice on your resume & you can work from home.
4. Judicial externship working under an Ohio state, federal, or supreme court judge. I don't know if they pay, but I don't plan on working for free. Damn skippy.
5. Just kick back the whole summer. What the heck......I need a break!

What's annoying me this week: Contracts exam is Monday but other professors don't give a hoot. Workload is still as much if not more because they're running out of time as the semester comes to a close and tons of material still has to be covered. So I don't crack open a Contracts book till the end of the week. And don't forget the Michigan game is this weekend and has to be watched and of course the after-party to celebrate the beatdown they'll get. Priorities....priorities....sigh.
