Spring break officially starts today for me; although my last class was last Tuesday. I've been enjoying some R&R at home in Los Angeles with my family. I'm flying back to my place tonight and will be heading to NY with my boyfriend and friends on Wednesday.
I've been entertaining the idea of starting my own website. I started blogging since I was 16, created two/three websites when I was in high school/college, but neglected them all. Now, I'm trying to get back into it? Do I even have the time? If I do create my own website, it will be anonymous. I find that I write more freely when people don't know who I am. Plus, I will be entering the work force next year (hopefully) and I don't want my website/blog to jeopardize my professional reputation. I'll let you know if I end up following through with it, although I am very doubtful.
I have started thinking about clerkship. Last week, I narrowed my list to 100 judges, ranging from District Court judges to appellate judges -- all in the Ninth Circuit. I know 2009 clerk hiring will be very brutal because people are going to try and ride out the economic recession by clerking, so competition will definite be up. The process is quite intimidating as well, but if I don't try, then I'll never know. One of my mentors told me to write individualized cover letters for each judge. I think that's just pure insanity.
