I like it here!

Wow, finally back in DC. I'm loving it out here too. I have really missed it. My roommate comes Saturday. She is a law student also (from a different school) so hopefully we'll get along.

I think I am coming up on another big gut check. I am going to apply to transfer to some law schools out here. I am completely happy with the school that I am currently at and it will afford me some great opportunities, but maybe not what I want to do in the near future. Because there are so many law schools out here filling the jobs I would be interested in, my school back in the middle of the country does not pull as much as weight around here.

The prospect of graduating law school in my home state and then just going back to the city I grew up in to work in a law firm for the rest of my life scares me a little. I am in my early twenties and single and the opportunities for me to pursue a short term career in DC are here. Its the type of opportunity and situation that will never present itself again and I really feel like I need that sense of uncertainty and adventure.

Filling out transfer apps can't hurt. I'm not even sure I will get in because these are top notch schools I plan on applying to. And even if I do get in, I'm not sure I will take it - I have a good situation now, I will be coming out of law school in my home state debt free and probably with some pretty well paying jobs available. But it would be a good conundrum to have, so lets just see what happens.
