I have scored another year-abroad adventure. Well, okay, no. I'm just going to be living in Edmonton for a year; which, is pretty much another country.
So at the 11th hour, the day after writing my last exam, I got an articling position with a fantastic firm, after a mere 35mins phone interview, with 7 people on the other end. The irony is, I've done 15 interviews already, most of them dressed in my sharpest suits, and the job I get? I interviewed for sitting on my bed, in jeans and a T-shirt.
Now that the stress and decision-making and paper tossing, confirm and re-confirm etc is mostly over, I'm really looking forward to it. I have a few friends out there, and of course the Cold Lake crowd will ease the transition for me, at least over the summer. The work is going to be incredible. Even though I've never seriously considered criminal defence before, it fits with the constitutional/adminstrative/litigation and Charter interest that I have, so it should be pretty awesome. It's not Vancouver, but closer than I'd be from here.
All my friends out West - hope this means I'll get to see you much more in the next year!
p.s. oh yeah, I'm done Law School!

Perhaps next time I should dress in my t-shirt to go for an interview too.

But seriously, I'm very excited for you, and I'm even more excited that you've found a firm that seems to work for you.
