As I sit on the 6th floor of the main library (that's right, mixing it up here from the usual Law Library locale) working on my outlines for class, I realized the last time I was in this spot was in December of 2007. I came up here after a friend (who shall remain nameless for anonymity's sake) told me about this spot where you can see out across campus.
Anyway, I feel the need to reflect, and maybe de-stress in the process, so indulge me.
The last time I was here was the week before I took the LSAT last December, which was a pretty crazy time in my life. I was worried about finishing school, doing well on the LSAT, finding a job after graduation, etc, etc. As I think about the time that has passed then, I feel like I can really see how much I've grown up this past year. I went from finishing undergrad, to going to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, to seven months of hellish paralegal work, to completing two months of law school.
Honestly, the road to where I am today seems very random and tumultuous. However, I've come to realize that had things been different, I would not be who I am today - this is true of everything we experience in life, but it seems especially true for me over the past year.
My biggest complaint in life at this point is not having enough time to go to the gym and/or run (although I went yesterday morning), which is not all that significant.
Law school is amazing. Although I am getting more stressed, I absolutely love it. The classes are relevant and interesting, and after working and living with the 'rents, I appreciate being around people my age and in the same place in life that much more. Also, I am able to get outside a lot more than when I worked full-time.
Something about being outdoors invigorates me.
Anyway, I've got way too much to study in way to little time, but I'll try to keep this updated more often than every month
...but don't count on it.
