 I thought I would create this page to allow us to all share our experiences this summer because 1) I'm curious what everyone is up to, 2) I've already had lots of stuff happen which I want to share and 3) I think it could be helpful for us to share what we're learning and perhaps learn more together than any of us is learning individually.

These are just a few of my thoughts and I'm sure I'll be adding more, but I hope people really pick this up.

 I am glad for this thread, its been really interesting hearing about the many diverse things everyone is up to this summer.

Hello everyone. I have been interning part-time at Legal Aid in San Diego, while helping my parents open a restaurant (also in San Diego).

I have been disappointed thus far by my experience at Legal Aid. I feel as though the majority of the full-time staff really do not care about the people who come in for help. They have no problem turning people away who come in with extremely pressing problems if they have yet to take their sacred lunch break. The one exception has been one of the immigration lawyers, who always tries to stretch Legal Aid policy to justify representation of various parties in need.

As for the restaurant, I'm going crazy dealing with the city government. I find many of the policies/ procedures completely arbitrary. For example, the health inspector has come to the restaurant three times, each time citing "violations" that she could have cited on her previous visit. The result is an ambiguous opening date.

I am leaving this week to spend the rest of the summer in Greece. I would rather pick figs and stare at the sea than think about law school for an additional second. I hope you all have a happy summer.
