Gimme a call
That's it?
Thursday. 5.20.10 8:30 pm
Whoa, three entries in 72 hours! I think. I didn't actually count.

Guys, I was really looking for an answer to my situation.
What should I do? =/ Should I take it?
I mean, it's going to be clerical work if I take it now.
And I don't get to have another internship as an actual law student later if I take it now.
No law school perks.
(going to trials, hands on legal work)

But then, I don't know if I want to intern there as a law student.
Law school will most likely be international law for me.
It doesn't help me any to intern in the New York County's District Attorney's Office.

Then I talked to academic advisors today.
I had been considering the Forensic Psych BA/MA program.
5 years, come out with MA, go to law school.
Sounds like a plan, right?
But...I don't know if I want to dive into serial killers heads.
I love the idea of understanding where people come from--
I mean, their minds and why/how they come to decisions
what got them there
not literally where they come from.
Too few people do this these days.
Everyone is so keen on assuming and labeling and gossiping and bitching.
Enough people!

I'm in this school now. Am I good enough to go elsewhere?
People here are less intelligent.
But recently I've found...I can survive.
Maybe even enjoy myself.
No, I don't fit in.
But when have I?
I never have before. I didn't die then.
But I did have a depression...
does that put things in perspective?

Can I go to Columbia?
(by can, I mean, will I get in?)
Should I go to Columbia?

Frankly...I'm scared.

If it doesn't help you at all to be interning there then don't take it since it stops you from continuing to study law right? Internships are meant to give you extra knowledge and give you an advantage over others. If working there (yes, the pay and experience) means you will never get to advance far in law after that (be more than just a law clerk) and you want more than just that, I really think you shouldn't.

I've been through an internship and yes, I do learn something but it's more of how it works in an accounting firm and I never want to go back there again. In terms of extra hands-on knowledge of the field.. a bit.

Oh... Sorry about that.. Then it will depend on if you're sure that you want to be a law student or not and that is a decision you have to come up with on your own because it must be something that you really want to spend your whole life doing. I don't want you to be in a situation like me where I've been influenced since young that being an accounting is friggin awesome and now I don't really know what I want to do.

i think forensic psychology is interesting, but overall it's really a guessing game. you can always have an idea of what's going on inside a criminal's head, but you can't always be sure.

that's just my opinion.
