Updates, updates, and more updates!
I know, I’m horrible at keeping up with blogging. Things have been a little crazy the last few months and this site definitely fell to the side. So now it’s time for a massive update and a look at what I hope to be writing in the future.
So updates first. I finished my 2L year with flying colors, even though the year feels like one giant blur. I also started a new job in July. I loved the people I worked with at my old job, but it was time for me to move on. The firm I was at specialized in insurance law and as much as I enjoyed doing that kind of work, it really wasn’t something I could picture myself doing and enjoying upon graduation.
Most people know I gravitate towards criminal law. I’ve been lucky enough to nab a job working for a County Attorney’s (Some areas have District Attorneys instead of County Attorneys) Office that is only abou 10 minutes from my house. I’ll be getting courtroom experience and office experience, which will hopefully help me land a job out law school next year. I’m starting my third week and things have been going very well so far.
The last thing I have to update about is that E and I booked a cruise during winter break!! I’ve never been on a cruise before, and he hasn’t been on one since he was a teenager, so we are both really looking forward to it. We haven’t been on vacation since the summer before I started law school, and with next summer being consumed with passing the Bar Exam, we decided winter break would be a good time to get a vacation in before I start looking for a job/working as a lawyer.
Now for blog things!
I’ve been wanting to do a few things with this blog and haven’t been able to put my finger down on exactly what it should encompass. That’s why I decided I am going to make it a mashup of things, instead of focusing on JUST law school. A lot of people have followed me over from my career as a hockey writer, and I love writing about hockey. I also want to tackle some real world issues, talk about employment, recommend/review books, and a number of other things. I cannot promise I will update the blog daily, but I am going to try and update a few times a week as the year progresses. I want to do a somewhat regular feature about misconceptions of the law (NOT LEGAL ADVICE!!) and things like that. I will be doing my very best to tag everything I’m writing so if you don’t want book reviews or hockey stories you won’t have to read them.
These are my main ideas for writing features at this time:
- Student life
- Career corner
- Hockey related things
- Currently reading/book reviews
- Fitness/health related
- Current events in law/law related features
They will flucate around a bit, for example right now it is the dead time for hockey so I probably won’t focus on that for awhile. I’m planning on doing a few pieces about mental health. I’m always look for post suggestions or even guest writers, so make sure to get in touch with me if you are interested in either!
Until next time, Emmy
