Working for the MAN

I got a job with the DOJ here in SD. I will be doing major fraud, white collar, and narcotics cases as a paralegal. It's a full time job, which will lead to some long nights trying to balance school with work. However, there are some serious benefits;

• $$, we will be able to search for the jobs we want after graduation, not the ones that pay tuition repayments.
  
• Better insurance, general Gov't perks (holidays, 401k's, etc)
  
• It's what I want to do after I graduate. This is the field, and these are the people I want to associate with.
  
• I've been assured that I won't just be pushing paper, and that I'll be allowed to bring to the table any skills that I can offer. I will be pushed as much as I push myself.
  
• It's more then just a paycheck on a personal/ philosophical level.

Other then that, exams are officially in the books. Hardest part is not thinking about them. As I posted earlier, we tried our hardest. Here's hoping... We've been eating much better, but nothing post worthy. Lots of cooking, bike rides, roller blading, and sleeping in. We are spending X-mass in Chicago. We are then having Eliza, Nikki, Owen over for New Years. Finally we are going to Colorado for some skiing. (for super cheap, thanks to an Aga travel agent perk). And that's it from the monkey barn.
