I finally have a summer job. Not a legal one, but I guess it was a bit of a long shot anyway. It's hard to get hired anywhere as a 1L. But next summer I'll be a 2L and I absolutely need to get a legal internship. Anyways, I'm a security guard now with Publicover Security. It's actually not a bad job at all. I don't have a permanent assignment yet, but my first training assignment was relatively interesting. It involved port security. I actually can't talk too much about it, because it's a federal government maritime security post. There are aspects of the job that are pretty intense when it comes to arrival and departure of ships from the pier. Tomorrow I'm going to the Congressional Trust building. I imagine that's mostly offices. Probably less intense.
Anyways, that's my job. Pay's ok, and I'm pretty sure I'll be on second shift so I won't have to get up early, so It's not bad at all.
Got my grades today. Pretty disappointing. I didn't do as well as last semester, so that sucks. But this coming semester will be cool because I'm mostly going to be taking courses I chose and want to take. That's usually where I shine when it comes to school: when I'm doing something I want to do. Anyway, aside from feeling dumb (cause of my grades) and useless (because I didn't get a legal job) I'm doing ok. Hope I don't feel down forever. On top of all that of course, the anniversary of Cory's death was Monday, so he's been on my mind a lot lately. Not that I don't think about him all the time anyway. Well, It's getting late . . .

When I saw "not a legal one" I thought, "an illegal one? Misha, are you selling drugs?"
Well congratulations on that anyway! :)
Ooooh, does that mean if I get wasted in the Old Port and start wandering the docks being belligerant you come beat me up or something? Because, in theory, that could happen, haha ;-)
Huzzah to getting a job! And it's odd because even though I didn't know Corey that well I think about him often, as well.
