But I do have one thing going for me - I agreed to start work earlier (originally supposed to take 2-3 weeks off after the bar) in exchange for a week vacation in August. One of my best friends graduates in May and will be starting work for our firm in September, so in August we can take a trip together and I will have $$$ by then!
I am very proud of my vacation-negotiation skills. Anyone who knows anything about first year associates at law firms knows you don't usually get them to let you have a whole week off during your first year. I seriously didn't think I would get it, but I just figured it wouldn't hurt to ask, and I lucked out!

Its been so cold here all i can do is dream about sunshine
