Another Job

I just started working this week at my new job, another law office in town with two attorneys who do a fair amount of trial work. It's a pretty decent gig: I have my own space, desk, computer, etc., which is nice; the office is modern and everything works well; and, importantly, I really like my co-workers & bosses. Everybody seems pretty easy to get along with, so all in all it looks promising.

And, on the law school front....absolutely nothing new. Still waiting to hear from three schools which tell me they'll "make every effort" to get me a decision by April 15th. Fantastic.

Good News

A couple of cool things happened to me over the last few days. I'm finishing up my work at the law office where I've been at for the last few weeks, and have been looking for other jobs. Yesterday I was offered another paralegal job (with a different, larger firm) for a little bit more money and much better hours. I was worried it would take a few weeks to find something good, but I guess I got lucky.

And, in other news, today I received a letter from the University of Michigan saying I've been offered a Dean's Scholarship. I was pretty sure I'd get accepted, but I was surprised to hear that I'd been offered an award--guess somebody likes me. :-) I'm still waiting on four other law schools (well, I guess five since I was wait-listed at one...), but this will definitely make my decision more difficult (in a good way) if I'm accepted somewhere else that, all things being equal, I'd prefer to go. Now if only I would hear from those other schools!
