Time flies.
This summer has really flown by. Not only is today the last day of my summer co-op, but we are quickly approaching that time of my legal career where I have to start thinking about post-graduate employment. That task has been complicated tremendously by the law firm I was supposed to work for this summer (they cancelled their summer program, and thus any chance of post-grad employment with them). However, this has also broadened the horizon a little. In the coming months, I’ll be canvassing smaller IP firms, as well as possibly looking at clerkship opportunities. I’ll also finally do what I should have done a while ago – join the Boston Bar Association. Finally, I’ll have to give some serious thought to studying for and taking the Patent Bar. This, of course, is in addition to classes and this pesky thing called the MPRE (if you don’t know what it is you should be happy, for now).
All of this will have to wait, however, as I am about to embark on a long-planned vacation -- in a probably futile attempt to forget about everything going on in the world around me. The only decision I plan to make in the next two weeks is whether to take my laptop with me. I’m leaning towards leaving it at home, in case you were wondering.
Have a wonderful next couple of weeks!
Special note to the incoming 1Ls: enjoy your last month of freedom, as you can see, the next time you will have a month off with nothing to worry about is roughly… never. (insert evil laugh here).
