California Love

Hooray Hermosa and Palm Springs :) I'm so glad I went.. despite kinda being worried about the job thing!! It was so great to get away!! Midwest Susan and I were TOTALLY uninformed about "bottle service." You order a bottle of whatever liquor.. vodka for example..With that, you get a reserved table and they bring mixers for you to make drinks. Seriously fun..and actually cheaper when you have a large group! :)

We left for Palm Springs on Saturday morning. Susan, Megan Wadley, Megan, Analise, Ashley and me had a blast! The weather was a leetle much to be desired..only getting to about 70something and then actually RAINING in the desert. I mean.. when does it do THAT?! We had a blast anyway! There aren't a lot of places to go hang in La Quinta (suburb of PS where we stayed), but the Marriot has a good restaurant and little dance club. We had a good time despite there being about an 80/20 ratio of girls to guys!! Since it IS the only dance club, 4 or 5 bachelorette parties were there. haha! :) We ended up actually.. get this.. meeting some fun guys celebrating one of them getting a job and moving home to SPRINGFIELD, MO!! haha!! PLUS, one of them wants to go to TU law and actually applied here! No one was even interested in each other.. We all just hung out and had a blast! They had a limo for the night and were headed back to toward our hotel.. so they took us home (and thereby saved us a 40 dollar cab ride). :)We got pulled over by a cop. in the limo. for standing up in it. Well, we didnt stand in it, but Mr. Springfield celebration thought it was a good idea.. haha.. Oh well. Made for a fun story and we got home safely! Drove back to Hermosa Sunday and experienced LA traffic. Um. sucks.

All in all, a great weekend!! Thanks to Alove for being a great hostess!!! Now its time to find a job. *sigh* I had a lunch with someone today.. and she was really helpful about getting in to her industry. She answered LOTS of questions and said she's willing to help me. I have decided to focus my efforts on:
- small law firms
- in house positions (but Im not likely experienced enough for this)
- pharma/medical sales
- land work (landman stuff or title work for oil and gas companies)
- human capital stuff (hr consulting stuff)

I know it sounds kinda vast, but my interests are there.. So.. cross your fingers for me and keep your ears open! Enjoy the slideshow!
