Some kind of luck.

Mum vehemently declares that I'm not a lucky person. I think that whether you do believe in luck or not, it's hard to ignore that 10% minimum of life that luck makes up. Seriously. Honestly, I think I've won like one lucky draw in my whole entire life - it was for a CD though, which was pretty good. But I wished sometimes that money would come my way, or even an ipod for that matter. That said though, there are more pressing things of which I really would like at the moment, a summer internship in Hongkong. Statistically speaking, (and as verified by Rose, who claims she's not that lucky herself), the greater the number of firms that you apply to, the higher the chance that you would be accepted by one, even if small. That said. I've sent applications to three different firms - Freshfields (interviewed), Johnston Stokes & Master and Deacons. These firms are huge because their international, but also very difficult to get in. I've got 2 more applications to send out over Easter and some of the others, they're only going to accept applications at a much later date. For the rest, I've sent emails enquiring as to the status of their vacation programmes. I've got two very gracious replies so far and their American based firms.

I mean yes, this desire to have a Hongkong summer placement is borne out of two things. First, one of those aspirations is to be based in Hongkong when I graduate. Second, what a once in a lifetime experience. That is why I'm just applying to those firms with international offices first. I mean I think it'll be different working for a Hongkong law firm as opposed to a firm that has an office in Hongkong. i think not only would work ethics be different, but I suppose culture would be as well.

Yes, I do want it that badly.

I'm all for law and having such an experience would be a validation. Haiyoh. someone help can?
