Part 1: HK

[blueirisb]

I guess a lot's happened since I've last written. I was elected Chief Articles Editor of my journal for next year (big time commitment but very rewarding, I hope). I'm also almost finished with my internship at the Court of Appeals downtown. A few guys from my section were also interning this semester, so it was nice to have friends go through

Sounds like things are going well. That is awesome you are done with that internship. I hope you have a great Easter and get to catch up on some much needed rest. :)

Luck struck again, and they surprised us by coming in two hours early, so the poor boy had to hear waaay too much about going commando.

He didn't mind. Trust me.

So, is this the first step towards a life of being a world-traveler?

[blueirisb]

That is the plan. My sis and I want to do Europe and maybe New Zealand next summer when both of us graduate and I take the Bar. oy veh. That'll be my last free time for a while until I wrack up enough vacation time. :) You should travel once you finish your masters and before the PhD.

[notelliot]

Well, I hope there will be some time between finishing my masters and getting a PhD instead of only an infinite amount of time after finishing my masters.

But anyway, I come up with lots of excuses in my mind for not traveling - like being focused on getting stuff done to get into a PhD program, feeling like $ should go to paying off student loans instead of traveling, etc. What do you make of that?

[blueirisb]

Well, the stuff to get into a PhD program is hopefully done before you travel so you can relax on your trip. :) When are those deadlines? As for student loans...I'm of the mindset that they'll get paid off eventually with whatever job one gets after school, so I'm not really worried about them. (And I don't plan at working at one of the huge firms with the insane salaries.) I can't stress enough that this is the only time in your life where you don't have things tying you down like kids, permanent job, etc., so I'm looking at it as a small window of opportunity of which I have to take advantage.
