Trying Something New... Work

It never ends. Ever since I got home from freshman year at Pepperdine this April, I've been at work. I'm an intern at the Fairfield Probate Court over the summers and breaks, and of course I'm recently retired from my internship on Capitol Hill working for Congressman Christopher Shays (CT-4). And so it is, back to work in the Probate Court until I off for London after the start of the new year. While I'm not shedding any tears over the decline in value of the Dollar (as i hope to post about later on - Oh goody, a blog post about the ECONOMY! Whooopeee!), it's going to make things difficult for lads and lasses like myself studying abroad. Hence the dire need to put in as many hours as possible before I go broke over there. Seriously, I have visions of begging for food money in Hyde Park this time next month.
I love the Probate Court as it's staffed by good folks and a fantastic boss in Judge Dan Caruso. Its just I may find the working lifestyle easy to give up when I go abroad. I almost forgot I'm at college... to study. Isn't that like practice for the real deal, not actually DOING? I kid. But seriously, I wonder what it's like not to worry about walking the fine line between business formal and business casual. I guess we'll find out. It's going to take some transition time to remember what it's like to be a student again.
