With one week at my clerkship left, I have to say that it has been very dramatic. One week i love it. The next I hate it. Nothing really changes with the work. Some projects are better than others but for the most part, my enjoyment comes when I am in a good mood. Part of me expected more, the other realizes that work is work, and im not exactly getting paid to play basketball like I had dreamed of as a boy.
I see the next few years of my life being exactly of what I make of them. But does it ever get to a point where I wont be able to affect change like I think I can. For example, I happen to have about 60 hours work of work to get done in one week. Not the way I envisioned my last week there. Apparently, the firm is notorious for assigning clerks lots of projects in their last week. This comes with the territory of working for a "real" firm.
So I plan on finishing strong. Then my week off will be spent writing my law review paper to see if can sneak on. If I have any time to spare, im sure it will be spent worrying about the rest of my life. That seems to be what I do for fun. Seriously.

You'll get it all done, and you'll do it with style. You are the only one who could make clerking look so good.
