How Bizarre

So, Carl Moy (for whom I worked as a research assistant) decided that he was going to go teach in Berlin next year (or he'd like to) and that I should work at WIPO & audit his class. Which sounds DARN cool - but how to make that happen? Well, he advised that I email Jay Erstling and see if he has any ideas about WIPO. It took me a long time to get his email address, but when I did he emailed me back right away. He wants to start some type of internship relationship with William Mitchell & WIPO. He allowed me to send him my CV & when I would be available - he's going to pass it along. I would never expect anything - but the response was really positive. Who knows - maybe I'll be in Berlin next spring. I would love to do something like that...between interning at UNICTRAL and that...it would be amazing. Just the chance alone is amazing, never mind how cool it would look on my resume and all the stuff I would learn.

Tonight some friends & I are having dinner at Maggiano's. I'm slowly realizing that I'm not going to see them after tonight. It's a little sad. I'm excited to go, but on occasion I worry about leaving the safety of what I know. Leaving my bed, my friends, my school, the city that I'm familiar with. And then I try to remember all the possible COOL things that I am going to see and the people I will (hopefully) meet, and it's good.
