First Post

Well, this is the new blog. It's something for me to do, b/c really I don't know what to do with myself when I'm not playing derby or doing law school, and both of those things will soon be going on a summer hiatus. So, I decided to start a new, all purpose blog.

Tomorrow is my Contracts Final. I am slightly freaked out by this, b/c this professor is like a mother: nothing you can ever do is good enough. She demands way too much; it's almost unreasonable. I have been studying, trying to memorize, but I'm cat-sitting, and really, one of the cats died on me today, and I had to wrap him up and place him in the freezer. It pretty much killed my will to study at this point. So instead I called up my best friend Giggle, and we had a couple of drinks and talked, and it was the best night I've had in a while. I'm not going to learn anything more tonight, and I've memorized more than I thought I had, so really, if I get a C+ tomorrow, I will be happy.

It is weird to me, to think that I'm almost done with my first year of law school. Partially b/c I never thought I'd end up in law school (took me 5 years to get here), and partially, b/c this year has just been so much. So many changes and so much pain in my head and so much drama, and so much everything else. And it's almost over. So much has gone on, and I have grown so much in this year, and figured out what I want finally, and how to be the person I thought I would be at 26.

Which is really what this all comes down to: I am more myself now than I have ever been. And I am closer to being on my way than I ever thought I would be. And you really can't help but be proud of that.
