Its time to start thinking about next summer's work situation as the OCI (On-Campus Interviews for the non-legal types) process begins next week. Some of the firms/organizations/etc. that will be interviewing at my school sound ok but nothing has really tripped my fancy, largely because of the location of a lot of the offices. I'm going to go through the OCI process on campus, but I'm also doing a ton of research to find other firms/organizations/etc. in other parts of the country that sound interesting. While I would love to stay in the small town I'm in now, I know the chances of that actually happening are slim to none, and the nearest big city is nice but not the kind of place I really want to settle down long term, so I'm branching out.

Part of me is thrilled. Part of me is scared. Largely, I feel overwhelmed.

There are just so many decisions .... what kind of office do I want to work in? Where do I want to live? Is it the kind of place the boyfriend will be able to find a job?? And then, of course, all this rests upon whether or not they actually hire me.

I'll be VERY happy when its all figgered out!
