Job worries and such.

For those of you who have been looking, here it is.

Well, some good news: both of my job references have gotten back to me and consented to being part of my reference list. I really should have gotten more on top of this earlier. I need to contact law firms around here to find a job. Hopefully in Criminal Law. My opportunities will most likely come in defense work because prosecution doesn't pay when you're a 1L. That is, if I get any opportunities at all.

Amber's right, Battlestar Galactica is getting good again. Not that the last few episodes were really that bad, but they were just that, "episodes" with little bearing on the greater story (ok, there was the whole Billy being shot thing, and Starbuck no longer being top gun, but other than that).
(Spoilers)
The one thing about this last episode that bothered me is that it was totally obvious that Lee was going to be promoted to commander. An interesting part of the last episode was the abortion debate. Having just 50,000 humans left should have a bearing on the answer to whether abortion should be legal. I am actually in favor of incentives for having children rather than limiting choice. The one problem I had with the episode was that they totally ignored the individual. No one ever answered the question of why she wanted an abortion. In this circumstance, I think that is a very important fact.

Yeah, not to mention I wanted to know the story! I was hoping they'd actually have her talk to someone and explain what was going on with her, instead of just using her as a plot device. Especially with her punishing parents looming offscreen. Did she have some premarital sex? Get raped? Incest? I wanted to know!
