I'd been thinking about actual semi-profound things to post about here (about body image, the unacceptability of not liking exercise in modern society), but classes start tomorrow and I've started stressing. It's not so much about classes (although I still have to choose between two, and to suppress the impulse to redo my entire schedule that still grips me every day or so), but about GETTING A JOB. I hadn't been stressing at all, but I went to a back-to-school get-together last night, where I found out two of my cohort have clerkships lined up. I'm super happy for them - they're great people who totally deserve the good positions they've lined up - but of course it makes me panic that my future is not yet settled.
Sigh. Isn't law school great?
I'm sitting in a conference room right now, my corporations textbook spread out in front of me, reading blogs instead of cases. I'm taking an intensive class before starting the regular semester, which has put me back into the law school social circuit sooner than I would otherwise have been. I'm only a 2L, but everyone is freaked about callbacks (I haven't even started my search for my job next summer, since I didn't do EIP), and the 3Ls are all freaked about jobs, and like you, I'm really tempted to panic.

Hubby starts OCI today... he has plenty of interviews (mid-teens... only one declined...), so maybe one of them will bite... sigh.

I'm with you on the exercise thing and I think I'm on the verge of just embracing my dislike of it.
As for your future, how unsettled was it in your previous life? :)

PhilosopherP - I'm SURE one of them will bite! Believe me, if someone bit on me, they'll bite on him. (hmmm, that doesn't sound very good...) I think getting a job out of OCI is much less difficult than getting a job out of, say, a conference interview in academia.
Laura - true, but I didn't like it much then, either!
joy - it's nice to know I have company!

I'm interested to read your (future?) post on the unacceptability of not liking exercise. I kind of think the opposite is true sometimes -- that it's *very acceptable* to frown on all forms of physical activity (though of course you should be thin. Or exercise, but only in order to be thin). Maybe it depends on your social networks?

Add me to the list of commenters who want to hear more about the exercise post-- I have tried and failed to like it, and my husband just cannot understand why I don't like it!
