Life has been a bit overwhelming the last couple weeks (what's new?). This is the last full week of school. I don't have any finals, but I have a ton of projects to finish for clinic and my nonprofits class, and my final trial for Trial Advocacy. On top of that, I have my upper-level to write. Yeah, that's 30 pages of which I have not written a single word. No big deal. Just have to make it to next Friday.
Now, then...here's a quick 5 things that make me happy right now:
1. This video. I love it. And I wish everyone felt the same way I do about marriage equality.
It's November. I completely missed October. Such is life.
Life. My wanderlust is cured for the moment. I have two huge trips coming up. In December, I'm heading to the Seattle area for a New Year's Eve wedding and to see the boy's hometown. And a short 7 days later, I'm off to Hawaii. Yes, Hawaii. A real week-long, somewhere warm, beaches and fruity drinks kind of vacation. Just have to make it through the end of the semester!
Law. October was rough. I had a monster paper, a midterm, Breast Cancer Awareness Week for WLSA, Student Gov. duties, Trial Ad assignments, and more. And somewhere in there was Fall Break which was insanely too short since I spent way more time working than I thought I would! Oh well, gotta work hard for the money. Especially with the trips coming up!
Luck. Things are off to a great start with The Center for Girls' Leadership. People are so receptive and it makes me feel like such a lucky girl! Also, have you tried a Starbucks Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate yet? No? What are you waiting for?! It's divine. In other luck news, I sprained my ankle last week. At work. Dancing. Not the best story in the world, right? But, I feel so lucky because not being able to move made me appreciate that I can move. So I've started working out again this week (low intensity because of the "hang-gliding" injury) and I feel great! Here's hoping I can keep it up!
I had the chance to see a sneak preview of Moneyball a couple weeks ago (Big thanks to gofobo!!). Go see it. It was amazing. Jonah Hill is wonderful. Brad Pitt isn't hard to look at. And it's a heartwarming story about sports. Really, what more do you need?!
3L. Life. Law. Luck. It's all been coming down to this...
Life. I'm happy. I'm healthy (and so are my family and friends!). I'm in love. I've found something I'm passionate about. It might be the most defining year of my life with lots of big decisions to be made, but I'm ready for it.
Law. I can hardly believe I've started the last year of law school. I should be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but instead I'm crazy busy and worried about finding a job/passing the bar. I'm over-involved and am learning to be strategic in what I say yes to.
Luck. Today, I got out of class 30 minutes early, the sun was still shining, and I jammed to Beyonce all the way home. Lucky me.
