alee_grrlSorry I haven't been around much lately. This semester is a bit of a marathon and I haven't had much time for my dreamwidth account lately. I've been keeping an eye on posts, but if there is something you want me to know specifically, you might want to provide a link in the comments.
Despite the incredible business that has been real life and a frighteningly long to do list, I am mostly keeping a handle on my anxiety. Breaking things into small tasks and reminding myself to breath being very helpful things indeed.
I successfully managed to complete the application process for the Semester in Practice program, an experiential program at my school which places students in positions with legal firms, government agencies and non-profits of various stripes and allows them to get hand-on experience and build important network connections. I am hoping to do this for my last semester and now the ball is successfully rolling.
I also managed to attend the LegalTech conference and do some networking. I sent out some follow-up emails when I returned home, and had a request for a phone interview develop from one of those follow-ups. I am both excited and terrified, but leaning more towards excited.
I was also feeling well enough to attend the school's annual Barrister's Ball on Saturday, which surprised the hell out of me. I figured after such a long week I'd come home and fall on my face. I did hold off on starting my newest round of treatment in hopes of being well enough to attend. That plan worked out and I was able to do a bit of dancing before I pooped out and headed back to my hotel room for the night.
I started my latest round of treatment on Sunday, and am feeling the effects a bit now. It is a bit frustrating, especially after feeling so good. But it is necessary if I want to continue to improve. It also worries me as I have a lot I need to do this week to catch up on work from last week that I missed while attending the conference. I am hoping that as the semester goes on and I get further along in various projects that I will have more time for things like dreamwidth and![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
