So I realize I should have more than 6 posts by this point in the semester but things in class have honestly been going so smoothly I have had very little to report. We are currently discussing Miranda rights and the right to an attorney granted by the case Gideon v Wainwright. The professor has been mostly lecturing alone, leaving very little for me to do in class. I’m not complaining- by this point in the semester things are usually pretty chaotic, but especially now since I am applying for jobs, I am relieved to not have to prepare as much for class (especially since it is twice a week!) On that topic, the professor and I had lunch last Friday and had a really nice talk about preparing for the post-grad job hunt. I was nervous about asking her for a letter of recommendation (I don’t know why, I’ve known her for years), but she happily agreed to write me one. She also said that a recent New School graduate she worked with got a director position at Gay Men’s Health Crisis immediately after graduation, and offered to put me in touch with him. I am looking forward to getting in touch with him and continuing to work with my professor to find my career path.
