This post may sound like a “no bleep Sherlock” tip, but I wanted to give it anyways.

I did an internship my second year and an externship my third. The externship required 20 hours a week in exchange for a 3 hour extern/clinic hour credit. At the end, your supervisor must write a review on your work.

I began my externship and very quickly realized that there was a big problem. My boss was a nut.

This individual was my supervisor at the last internship and moved firms. She was pleasant to work for in the past, but something totally different changed. She made every day miserable, constantly be and criticize me, and I absolutely hated every moment of it. I think perhaps she was let go at the last place or otherwise angry with her life.

I realize that there was no policy at my school, nor any foresight on my end regarding the externship not working out. I wanted to leave so bad. However, I would lose the course hours or fail the externship course if I quit or was fired.

My advice is: if you are banking on getting credit hours for your externship, please find out beforehand what happens if you are let go or quit. You might think you know your boss well but you may not.

Luckily, my school was really understanding

Last 2-3 shipments I’ve made they’re late. They do give you the refund of course but why? I feel like they’re losing $ if everyone can refund their order

Live in a parish that was once rural, now has 10,000,000,000 people. at hours 3:30-7:30am, I can barely pull out of my road and not get hit by a monster truck going 130mph on the way to work, and between the hours of 2:30-6pm, I cannot use any major highway due to the absurd traffic. at around 5pm, the traffic backs up so long that it sometimes comes to a stop literally a half a mile from the red light.

And is it as sexy as one might assume?

Everyone seems to be under these two impressions: 1. The DOJ has lowered their recruiting standards ten fold, and 2. Nobody wants to work for this admin thus it looks bad to work for the DOJ/DHS in this timeline.

I do not want to work for either of these two agencies. I have, for a long time though, been attracted to some of the more “unicorn” jobs. State Dept, Office of Trade Rep, CIA/DNI. What I am wondering is, are these sexy agencies also hiring less qualified people due to staffing issues, or are they still as competitive as ever?

I do know that State only has a few attorney advisers.

I’m ashamed of my past

And I come from Louisiana where food is fantastic but I love all of the amazing diversity in the cuisine in DC. Never had a bad dish.

shouldn't the courses get increasingly harder as you develop, not the inverse?

My professor released grades almost 48 hours ago and we can’t see them for whatever reason. They say banner takes a long time to actually post them even after a professor submitted them. Is this normal?

I hear a rumor that our dean of academic affairs has a “look” before they are actually released
