Apparently I Took the "Proper" Next Steps

in attempt to make up for the fact that at least half of the university's graduates are unemployed, the university hosts an event called taking the next step. at this event they invite all third years to a hotel to listen to graduates talk about how to succeed and how to put your liberal education to the test.

at this event, you can choose to hear from doctors, lawyers, entertainers, writers, and...this year...asylum project paralegals. that's right, the CPO has invited me to be a lunch time panalist at this year's taking the next step. when i asked them "aren't i too young for this" the response i got was: "well, you'll certainly be our youngest participant," but i'm sure you'll be able to contribute.

so, in early january, i will sit and eat with bright eyed third years. half of them will scoff at the thought of taking advice from the class of 04, and the other half, if i do my job, will ask me for internships.
