Law students hit by hiring freeze, how are you reacting?

I'm a 2L at an NYC-area T100. Top 10% GPA but struck out in pre-OCI and OCI last year, ended up with a BigFed offer for 2L summer. New administration's hiring freeze killed that job and I can't count on it being brought back.

I've put out apps for judicial internships and the like, but there aren't a lot of options. My school is "aware of my situation" and supposedly had members of admin looking for alternatives but it's been two weeks and they've not produced anything. Our career office is notoriously bad and seems to be steering people towards clerking at local personal injury and insurance defense firms. Maybe that's all there really is, but they've been so bad in the past it's hard to trust their advice now. Really, it's also hard to keep focusing on classes and staying prepared (readings, etc) when the work doesn't seem to be leading to anything and most grade-sensitive employers have made their 2L hires already.

If you're in the same boat, how are you handling it? I hope some folks are having better luck than I am...
