Grades and Out and Summer Internships

Always something exciting going on over here! My grades came in from this past semester at law school and...I kicked butt if I do say so myself!! I'm very very pleased and it was such a relief to start my second semester already knowing my GPA wasn't going to be a worry. I am fifth in the class!

Anyway, after the results came in I decided to take a chance and I sent a bunch of cover letters and resumes to a few local law firms looking for a summer internship. Someone in Heaven is watching out for me and I got contacted by not one but TWO law firms to come in and interview!! Luckily, a huge part of my Christmas swag this year was professional attire so I knew just what to wear.

In law you pretty much live in suits I imagine so for an interview there's really no other option but a suit. I go with standard black because I think it's the most formal and conservative. 

Anyway, the suit must have brought me luck. Officially, I have been offered both internship opportunities...so now I have to decide! Yay!!

Of course, even MORE important than the clothes...the nails, lol. Because lawyers are conservative (boringgg) I took off my colorful manicure and replaced it with a simple French Manicure for the interviews. They came out clean and I'm still rocking them.

I've got a summer internship! WAHOO!

Post-Travel Gifts

My sister and her boyfriend went on vacation with his family to Hawaii this past week. I'm a little jealous because I love to chillax on a beach as much as the next person but I never get to go on vacation because I'm either broke or in school. Bummerrrr. Anyway, I love when she travels because she always spoils me with little goodies when she gets back. For her Hawaii trip she brought me some yummy chocolate macadamia cookies, chocolate coated macadamias, a hula girl pen, a sea glass bracelet, and hula girl post-its. Love it all!

Might be a Little Fancy for Running But....

This hairstyle is one of my "go to" favorites because it's sooo easy to do and takes literally five seconds (or however long it takes you to french braid your hair). If you're ever running late or short on time just give this a try. All you need is a tiny hair elastic (easier than a regular hair band) to hide when you flip the braid in) and a spin pin or two.

All you have to do is french braid your hair (secure it with the elastic) and then flip it (and secure with a spin pin or two to keep the hair turned under). See? It's that easy! I can do it without even looking in a mirror.
