Another Day in NYC

So... I'm sitting here, alone in the hotel. It's not as bad as it sounds. I flew in this afternoon, took a cab to the hotel, and immediately met up with my friend GQ and his girlfriend E and had dinner at a super-posh beautiful Japanese restaurant in SoHo. GQ is working for firm F right now in New York as a third year, and in spite of all the busyness of BIgLaw firm life (which he freely admits) he really likes his work, though E complains that his schedule is a little too crazy and unpredictable.

After meeting with GQ and E, they gave me a ride to the restaurant where I'm meeting my good friend from college, SF and HIS on-again, off-again girlfriend L, whom I like a whole lot mainly because she reminds me somewhat of myself, and because she's beautiful and smart and thoughtful, which is also why it has always been a little sad to see her and SF struggle through their relationship. We had a lovely dinner (well, I didn't have dinner, but only a glass of wine). The conversation flowed freely. Both SF and L are applying to English grad schools, so I heard about that, and told them about law school and my interests and my fear about law firms and my (very nascent) aspirations for academia.

Then caught a cab and got back to the hotel. Getting up bright and early tomorrow for my interview - not that stressed, but still want to make a good impressions.

:D Having a string of emails in my inbox that I very much enjoy reading.
:( nothing, really. I've even caught up on my sleep!
