i'm moving to Dallas for the summer. june 5 - august 4, to be exact. i got a summer gig at a law firm that i didn't think existed in texas, but thankfully does exist and is doing just fine. they do software copyright and licensing defense work. translation: if you work for a business accused of exceeding its license quota on software installations, or of installing pirated software, or of selling software that infringes another software mfr's copyright, this law firm would defend your business against such lawsuits.
the way i see it, it's the equivalent of defending the little guy against the software industry's version of the RIAA, even if the "little guy" is a fortune 100 company.
also cool is the fact that i'll have access to a slew of new mountain bike trails.
the last time i was this excited for a job was when i was a DJ at UT. i can't wait to get done with finals and head up to Dallas. it's making it really, really hard to study... as if it weren't already hard enough.

I'm all for boycotting finals, except, uh, I don't think they give you the degree if you do that. Some little technicality or something. And CONGRATS! Have fun in Dallas this summer.
