Back to Plan B

I know some of you are waiting very anxiously for a race report from last weekend's mountain bike race (!!!) but you are just going to have to sit tight a little while longer. Long story short: it was tough, it was hot, it was FUN. I'm hooked.

After several weeks of waiting I found out today that currentplaceofemployment is not going to have a position for me, at least not anytime in the near future. No funding means no job which means I am back to square one. At first I was absolutely devestated. This was the dream job and I had pretty much relied on the fact that it was going to happen back when I was making decisions about where to take the bar. My panic quickly dissipated when I realized that its not too late to take the bar in Colorado. I have until the end of the month to get my application in, which is plenty of time. So we're back to plan B.

What is SO exciting about that is that it means we could be in Colorado by the end of the month! What is SO scary about that is that it means we could be in Colorado by the end of the month?! There is a LOT to get done if we are going to move in three or four weeks ... oh, and I have finals coming up. Yikes.

So the job search has begun anew. I am broadening the scope of the kinds of gigs I am looking for. I would still LOVE to do environmental law but I'm open to all kinds of public interest type stuff. I just sent off an application for a position with the Public Defender's office in Denver - which is something that has interested me for a while now. Unfortunately pretty much all of my experiences and coursework and whatnot are in enviromental law, so I'm not sure how marketable I am, but its worth a try.

I REALLY need to buckle down and start studying for my final on Saturday but ALL I can think about is these recent developments and how very very different our lives could look in a very short time. Its exciting. And terrifying. And very very exhausting.

Stay tuned.
