Say all the right things at exactly the wrong moment...

...and your life will never be dull. At least mine never is. Obviously, my blog posts here are not so frequent--that should be a little bit telling about what law school is really like. I have had a somewhat eventful last few weeks. Our journal had the symposium which turned out really well. I've been working on my note, and I've just been getting stressed out in general. I think that I'm more stressed about upcoming finals this year than I was as a 1L and they're not really as important this year.

You live and learn, right. Well, I recently learned. I'm looking for a job for next summer and I applied to two jobs via email last week. The first one wrote back and said thanks for the lovely cover letter, but you didn't attach your resume. DOH! I can't believe that I did that. I quickly attached a resume and sent it back; of course, I haven't heard from them since.

The other one emailed and said to call for an interview. I called and got a very terse, "Call me back in 10 minutes." Ooh, must be a really busy firm. I called back and was told to call tomorrow at noon. Alright! I said I would and then they mumbled something else about sitting down and hung up. Great. Now, I have no idea what the plan is--am I to call them on the phone or call on them at the office (as in visit). I decided to shoot off an email and try and clarify. I said I wasn't sure and would like it if they could let me know if I was to call on the phone or call (visit) the office. They wrote back with a three word email: For an interview. Gee, thanks. That cleared up everything. NOT! Now, I'm feeling even more confused than before and concerned because I have yet to have an interview and I would like to get a job (even if it is, like this one, an unpaid internship). I wrote back one more time and said I that I still don't understand. Probably a dumb move on my part, because they never wrote back, but how was I supposed to know what they meant. I would have felt really dumb showing up at their office in a suit and tie and then getting told that I was supposed to just call on the phone. I talked to a friend with a lot more experience in life and decided to just let this one fade into the past and chalk it up as a learning experience. I'll get em next time, right....? anyone....?
