So - the countdown begins and my fear rises. Only two more weeks of class left. In less than two weeks (two weeks from yesterday to be exact) I have my final Trial Practice project due. It's a full on trial with me as the attorney. I have a lot of work to do for this. And two weeks from now my Race and the Law paper (30+ pages) is due. I haven't even started on that. Also two weeks from today is the last day of this semester. And then comes finals. I haven't even started outlining yet. I am so behind this semester and I can't figure out why that is. It's not like I've been slacking or anything. I'm pretty much always at school and I'm pretty much always working. I don't have much of a life anymore because I don't have the time for it. I don't even have the time to get more that 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night. Rob can attest to the fact that the lack of sleep is driving me insane. And most of my friends can attest to the fact that I've pretty much dropped off of all social radars. And yet I'm still behind. This is so not cool. And it scares me. Can I have all of my shit together in time for all my finals? I hope so. I'm hanging on to the top 50% by a thread and I need to stay in there.

This semester has gone by so quickly for me. Everyone is talking about graduation and how cool it will be to get out of here. I would rather have another year to go. Most firms hire junior associates by mid-December. I haven't even gotten an interview yet. I'm so fucked on the job front. I'm going to be married by the time I graduate and I'll need employment. But how can I find employment if I can't even get an interview? I've begged and pleaded with my friends and my family to help me out in any way possible. And still nothing. My Dad can't even get me an interview. I know the job market is bad, but this is insane. And it's not like I should be completely undesirable to an employer. Granted, I wasn't able to make the Law Review or any other extracurricular activities, but I'm not a worthless lump. I've worked my ass off here and my grades show it. I'm in the top half of my class and I've AmJur'd (received the highest grade in the class) both my Copyright and my Legal Ethics class. Not many people can say that AmJur'd a class while in law school let alone two. But it looks like that's just not enough. I'm at my wit's end here people, what the hell should I do?
