I know people have posted about their excitement, but instead of reviving all that I'll start my own thread and hope you'll all contribute! This summer I'm doing two biglaw internships in London with US firms. I'm so excited! I've been suit-shopping, reading business news and preparing. I only have two Finals to go before finishing college, and then there will be two weeks of celebration before summer work. I'm so happy with my choice of law school, and get really happy each time the 'attenting___' thread pops up in my unreads and I read about your law school destinations, or about you finding the perfect apartment or house or getting off a waitlist. We've achieved so much, and we're on our way to becoming lawyers. I can't believe how far we've come and that it's all for real...

Here's the story. Oxford colleges provide free contraception to their students in the way of condoms. They place them in discreet places, in bowls in toilets, behind counters to be handed out by an individual and sometimes send them to people who have requested them in brown envelopes.

Recently, it was discovered that all of these condoms had been discreetly pierced with a pin, making them useless. Many couples (hundreds)  consequently had unprotected sex unwittingly, and exposed themselves to the risk of STDs and preganancy.

How awful is this? So an investigation was launched to find the guilty party.

It transpired that the Christian Union was responsible for this, because it, as a body, is opposed to sex before marriage and to birth control.

This is not a jab against Christians in general at all. I am recounting one incident and a specific group. But I do think it is _terrible_. I would think that no matter which religion or group was responsible. I think it is abominable that people use their moral convictions as an excuse to potentially cause physical and mental harm to others. This is bigoted and selfish and awful. Sorry about the rant! I've just heard this news and it really scares me. I tell you: if it had been me I'd be climbing the walls out of fury and fear.   

that was all I wanted to say!

I put this up in the students' board, but I thought we could start our own thread and talk about housing and getting ready for the move to California... or anything else, for that matter.
I am so excited about attending, even if it is for next fall.

So who's coming to Berkeley?

Ok, so we've all been chatting about which schools have the best employment stats, saying that Biglaw firms go further into the class of some law schools at which they interview than into that of others... so what do you think about Boalt for someone who wants to work in San Francisco? Do you have to get High Honours to get a biglaw job? Be in the very top of your class? If anybody has an opinion/idea where I could get this info I'd be very grateful!
Thank you!
