Hey Fairy Godmother,
Thanks for the encouragement. The blanket is coming along great. I decided to revive my old interest in crocheting and give knitting a rest for a while. I'm going to try to post a picture but who knows. It's a sea-foam green (seems to me she'll have enough pink) hooded afghan. I'm making the blanket part first, then I have to make the hood and attach it. It was pretty frustrating to learn all these complicated double crochet thingies, but my mom and my grandmother helped me out.
As for this law firm crap -- I guess with your experience you definitely understand. It's just so frustrating because my school has a hand in setting up the interviews, and there is a lottery element to it that basically forces the firms to interview students they would normally not consider. Seems like a nice idea but really it just sets us up for disappointment and wastes everyone's time because you know these firms are not going to hire a student that they didn't want to interview in the first place. Anyway I'm not taking these rejections as a personal judgment or anything -- I understand that they have incredibly high standards -- I guess I'm just annoyed with myself for allowing my hopes to go up. Anyway we'll see. I had one very good interview -- he told me twice that I was well spoken, and said I was a great interview -- and I haven't heard back from them yet so we'll see. Plus I have two more interviews, starting tomorrow. The one tomorrow is actually for a firm's London office, so we'll see if anything comes of that. Don't worry, I'm not permanently moving out of the country without something carbon-based on my fourth digit, if you know what I mean.
Thanks for the love, as always.
Oh, here's a pic of the blanket, hopefully:
