My attorney is away on vacation for the week, but somehow, I still manage to have piles of work to complete. I don’t really mind too much though, since it’s all interesting work and I enjoy the independence my attorney gives me. I’m finally going home tomorrow, and I am super excited to back to New York City to see my family and friends…..and watch Villanova’s first game against Clemson on Friday. We’re going in as the underdog, but hopefully we’ll come out as the Cinderella story (keep your fingers crossed!!)
Last week our Presidential Lecture featured a panel of corporate philanthropists, and since I have always had an interest in corporate law, I was excited to see the panel discuss their civil responsibilities as corporations. It’s often hard to see the “good” in firms amongst stories of corrupt corporate directors who fail to lift their eyes above the bottom line. It’s a sad reality that some firms are only self-seeking, profit-driven machines, but I was excited to finally see corporations demonstrate their contributions to society, and elaborate on their “risk averse” approach to philanthropy.
Over the weekend some friends and I threw a barbeque, then headed out to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. Living in Arlington is so much fun, especially since there are so many other young professionals in the area. Although I miss being on campus, it’s definitely going to be hard to leave the program. I was worried that participating in the program and interning at a law firm would only discourage me from attending law school, but (as cheesy as it may sound) it only reaffirmed my desire to become a lawyer.
I better start packing for my trip tomorrow, hopefully next week I’ll be able to gloat about Nova’s win against Clemson!
