Internship?

So it's been an interesting past week. Tuesday company I applied for an internship called me and told me I'd be wait listed for the position, ie I was candidate number 5 for 4 slots. So that was a huge bummer. But, onward and upward, right? So I found a place to live in Galway and applied for jobs like crazy and got a pretty promising lead on a position for administrative assistant at a multinational toy company. So job and house pretty much sorted. Then yesterday, I get a call from said internship telling me that one of the 4 dropped out and offering me the position contingent on my references and a physical (which is standard practice in Ireland). So now I am super excited, but also a bit nervous that something is going to go a bit wonky with internship and I'm gonna end up back a square one. So we'll see.

Still waiting...

Hiya everyone,
  So got my visa and have started my course for the FE1s. The FE1s are equivalent to the Bar in the U.S. except you only have to sit four subjects at a time. Once you pass those 4 you have 5 years to pass the other ones. I'm currently taking a review course, since all of this material is new to me. I am up to my eyeballs in homework and trying to memorize case law. I'm prepping for torts, equity, company and contract. Still waiting to hear back about IBEC. Fingers crossed on that one. Other than that just finishing up my term of service with Americoprs and enjoying the beautiful weather. Went to the one of the beautiful beaches this weekend with a friend, played some bocce ball and gave a new bar a try, so work hard play hard :) Hope all is well with everyone!
