First Snow

Today was the first "real" snow of the winter and it was beautiful. Being in school has its benefits because me and my friends ran around and threw snow at each other like we had lost our damn minds. It was cool because most of them had never seen snow before. Of course i had to field the usual "DC sux when it comes to snow" comments, but i explained as best i could and kept it moving. People from up north will always have something to say about how DC sux so i'm not concerned.

In other news the reception is a little over a week away. I think i invited everyone i know and most of them have said they will be there. I just want everyone to have fun and relax and enjoy themselves. It's not supposed to snow next week so i'm hoping travel won't be an issue for folks.

Tomorrow I become the owner (kinda) of a new car. My old car is basically dead. It still runs but it has some stuff wrong with it that would be foolish to fix. So me, the parents, and the husband will trudge out in the slush to pick out my new baby. I can't lie, i'm very excited. Out of all the cars I've had (this'll be the 6th), this is the first one that i'm actually choosing. Hopefully everything will run smoothly and i won't have to go thru the song and dance at the dealer where he tells me one price, brings out the finance manager, they play good cop/bad cop, we threaten to walk out, they stop us, repeat ad nauseum... have too much other stuff to worry about. They have one time to talk stupid and off we go to the next dealer.

I sent out approximately 100 resumes to "potential employers". Everyone that i talk to tells me how thousands of people are applying to law firms and how it really isn't expected that you get a gig your first summer, but the idea of making $2500 a week has me tryin hard as hell to get one. Thus far i've gotten a bunch of "thanks but we can't consider you"s, 1 "you're not what we're looking for", 1 "send us your transcript," and 1 "we'll contact you when we begin interviewing". Hopefully SOMETHING will pan out. I want to at least make it to an interview, that way even if i don't get the gig, I'll know what to expect next year when employers will be more open to a second year student.
