So I have finished the quilt and have been working diligently on finishing up the assignment, I have to admit I am becoming a bit concerned about getting this assignment finished. It has not been easy considering my flight was actually booked this past weekend home which is a 25 hour expedition. I have been working on the assignment from home, but there have been plenty of distractions. Focusing on school when you have been away for more than 4 months is not easy, but I suppose I will have to adapt to this when I graduate and go into the real world where work assignments will need to trump many everyday activities in order to advance in my career and do well. I know it does not have much to do with this course, but I know Jason is always very concerned about how we are doing in advancing ourselves in the acadamic world as it relates to our future career trajectory. I am going to interview at the District Attorney's office in New Hampshire next week which I am nervous but excited for, I am hoping to get an internship with the Environmental Protectiou Bureau which would be quite exciting. My plan is to get a solid internship and from that to develop good contacts and solid references in the field. If I were to get this internship it would be a big step in my career, although it is a requirement for completing my Justice Studies Major that I participate in an unpaid internship for one semester, 15 hours per week, I think that the DA's office specifically is the best choice. Every state in the US has a District Attorney's Office, because of this, doing solid work for one of them would give one many other opportunities with other DA's Offices or even something less formal, like a non-profit. No matter what I choose for my career, I feel that starting at the Environmental Protection Bureau at the New Hampshire District Attorney's Office is the best start for me. I am extremely excited and I will write back here next week, even if it will not be counted for my grade, and let you know how I did at the interview. Exciting Stuff!!!
