The Hunt

I PASSED!!! I have finally started to settle back into some sense of normalcy after being on Cloud Nine about passing the bar exam. I figured I'd take a few weeks off from blogging to enjoy it, but most of the reason why I haven't blogged is that I haven't had time to do it between working and trying to get resumes together to send to law firms. Unfortunately, it seems that with the economy not doing so well, firms aren't really hiring at this point. I don't know whether that is the reason or if it is my less than stellar class rank, or maybe even the fact that I didn't send them a resume in the middle of my third year of school. Either way, the fish aren't really biting at the moment. Still, I'm staying in the hunt and eventually I'll find something. For the time being, I'm happy knowing that on Thursday I'll be sworn in to practice (even without a job).

Enough about me. Lauren's last month has been equally exciting. Shortly after she interviewed with Limited Too, she was given an interview with Cato, Inc., to be an assistant buyer. A few days after the interview was offered, she was offered the actual position with Limited Too, because she still wanted a new job. She then had her interview at Cato, and it went very well, so well that she was actually offered that position (it is actually with their subsidiary called "It's Fashion"). Its much more along the lines of what she wants to do, so she's very excited. The funny thing is that she had actually started training with Limited Too, and because her training was not complete, they didn't need a "two-week-notice" but she had already told Cato that she would, not having known that they'd just let her stop working at Limited Too. Long story short (too late) she gets two weeks off before she starts the Cato job, so as I write this, she is in Virginia spending time with her Grandmother.

Connor is doing well, and is really not enjoying Lauren being gone, but that makes two of us. Being alone in Charlotte is pretty boring, even though it is a big city.
