Still on the hunt

I'm still on the job hunt, and it actually isn't going so bad. I say it's not that bad because I am actually getting call backs and interviews. At first it seemed like my resume was just thrown into a black hole, but now that I am receiving a response it feels good! The good part about the job hunt is that I'm not limiting myself to one particular city. Pretty much anywhere in the state of California is free game. Here is the line up of the interviews for the next couple of weeks. Ventura, San Francisco and Bakersfield. Each city is extremely different, but the job is all the same.

Wish me luck!

Interviews

After sending out countless resumes I finally got a call back for an interview. As excited as I am that someone finally liked what they saw on my resume, I am equally terrified for the questions that I am going to face. I have been busy researching all the latest cases that have hit the scene and am trying to cover my grounds.

For the next week I am going to have to get my interview attire together.. Meaning I am going to have to decide on the right suit, right heels, right bag, right earrings....basically the right everything!

I also have to think of questions to ask during the interview. I always get the "Is there any other questions you might have for us" at the end of the interview. I always feel stupid when I say "No, I think that's it."

If anyone knows any interview ending questions I should ask please leave a comment!

Ca Bar Exam 2010

Wow I just realized that the next Ca bar exam is just around the corner. I believe in my last few weeks of the home stretch I was trying not to freak out (which is hard), and trying to come to terms that it is impossible to learn everything. So, If you are reading this and your studying for the bar please try to stay calm. Keep studying, and keep taking breaks when you need them. The good thing about the bar is that it's the same hard ass test for everyone who sits for it. Everyone has to answer the same questions. If you come across a question that you don' know (and this will happen) don't freak out. Remind yourself that everyone else in the room doesn't know it either.
The best thing you can do when you are face with a "what in the hell type of question is this" is to STOP....Breathe..... and make something up. Stick with the directions and just answer what they ask. Nothing more, nothing less.

Keep trucking, keep studying, keep praying.

You will pass!

Girls Rule

On the last post I told you guys about the beer drinking contest! Well the results are in, the judgment is final and the GIRLS WON!!

Quick recap: The night started with a trip to Sky Tacos off of Pico. After enjoying the best shrimp tacos in the world we decided to start the contest immediately. The fact that stomachs were already full we knew it wouldn't be to long before someone wouldn't be able to manage to share anymore room with heavy beer.

Donte downed the first beer, and Jessica followed shortly. Brandon and I finished our first beer around the same time, and then everyone started number 2. Halfway through the second beer we heard a rumble. And that was it!!! Brandon made a quick dash to the restroom and said so long to sky tacos and a beer and a half.

Of course the guys screamed re-match but we shall see. Right now the girls just want to enjoy their victory!!!!!!!

Girls Rule!!

Happy Father's Day

Today is the day to celebrate Dads!!! I wanted to dedicate this blog to my Dad. Thank you for taking the role as our father. I could not imagine our lives with out you. Thank you for all the countless hours of listening to me, helping me, and just being there. You truly are one of a kind, and I think more men should be like you.

I hope you enjoy your special day. Luckily I get to take part in the activities this year since Donte and I are finally back!!

Cheers to you Dad. I love you!

quick catch up

Sorry I have been slow with the post, but I have been on my grind with the whole job hunt routine. The sad thing about California is the recession hit the state hard, so it seems that every state agency is frozen for the moment. Good thing is I landed an internship, but I won't be able to go into court because even though I'm licensed I'm just an intern.

Any-who I will just keep crossing my fingers that California receives a little gold from the sunshine God sends our way almost every day and my state gets back on track.

So for the time being I have a few fun things to look forward to:

1. Spending Fathers Day with my Dad this weekend

2. Going to see the stars from food network do a cook off next weekend at the grove with one of my besties Jessica.

3. And last but not least Jessica and I have teamed up to do a beer drinking challenge against my husband and his friend. All bets should be in. The GIRLS are going to win!!

I will post pics of both the cook off and the beer challenge next week!

There's no place like home.

There's no place like home. There's no place like home. I say this while I click my 3 inch ruby red stilettos. Unlike Dorthy I have to rock the heels instead of the flats. I finally made it back to California. I'm still under the impression that I am not here for good, and that I have a long flight back to Tampa scheduled. But in reality that is not the case!!! I'm back home and it feels good. Real good.

I do miss my friends in Tampa, and hopefully we start planning the trips that we promised to plan. I spent memorial weekend with my besties in LA, and it confirmed my decision to move back. I heart LA. Its my home. I am so happy that my husband and I decided to move back!

Donte and I have a lot of adjustments to make, but I know we will be able to make them. I have a list of things that need to get done, and I am giving my self one month to do them:

1. Get sworn in. Got to make the whole passing the bar official.
2. Find a job.
3. Find an apartment.
4. Find a bar that my hubby and I can hang out at. (No more slug or bar louie for us..sigh..I will miss that about Tampa as well.)
5. Go to the mountains.

The list above does not have to go in exactly that order. I might try to concure number 4 first!!
