Thank GOODNESS I have these lovely ladies...

...to save me from DROWNing in this:



This weekend was supposed to be a nice concentrated chunk of time for me to get my work done for the upcoming week. I read approximately 6 pages of contracts (which, in all fairness, is the equivalent of at least 84 pages of anything else...) Even with that in mind, I barely touched my assignments for the week, and yet here i am- once again- blogging.

obsession setting in...

Law school is a funny thing. Not quite funny strange and definitely not funny ha ha... just the kind of funny that wakes you up trying to remember which statute permits you to sleep an extra twenty minutes... The kind of funny that has you wondering if you've made a formal binding contract enforceable by law when you promise a friend to call at a certain time... the kind of funny that has you yelling, "I object!" when your boyfriend suggests watching another UFC fight. ...That kind of funny.

I am one week in to this 3 year journey, and so I realize that my opinions and critiques are not yet founded in a heap of authority or expertise, but if you're reading this I will assume you are at least somewhat interested: So far, I highly recommend law school to anyone with a desperate curiosity and a glass-half-full kind of mentality while I greatly dissuade the pessimistic naysayers. Law school can be the surge of power that a thinker needs to become a DO-er, or it can be the poison that already angry person needs to become a permanently embittered soul.

I like to think of myself as fairly sunshiny.

and I have an insatiable appetite for facts. (also called a nerd.)

At the end of the day, God is good. He has provided everything that i have needed. He has made me content :)

And so I think Im going to be ok :) Till next time...

Minima Lefty

When Jess left last night she said, "I feel bad leaving you here without explaining this whole thing to you...there's still so much I wanted to tell you about how to blog."

"I'm pretty good at finding my way around these sorts of things," I said.

Minima Lefty.

That is all I have to show for my supposed ingenuity. minima lefty. It's a template, in case you weren't sure, and I'm a lefty and so it made me feel more comfortable in a very new an uncomfortable environment. But it is, quite literally, the only thing I am capable of doing right now. I feel like a kid who's lost their mommy in a mall.

In addition to the left hand margin making me feel at home, my first three comments and followers were warming as well, so thank you!

Well, *deep sigh* I'm sure with time and multiple tutorials I will figure this whole thing out and make this blog my own. Jess will probably also regret offering to help:)

As I wrap up this afternoon post, I think I wil post a picture. Because:

A) my blog is very white and needs some color.
B) i want you to see one of the very greatest blessings in my life <3
C) it is one of the only things I know how to do on a blog.

As promised, I will be brief...

...for the most part.

this is my first blog. Law school, as some of you know, restricts those of us who have creative writing urges. Thus, I am establishing this blog as my necessary outlet.
Jess, whom many of you may follow, is a new friend and INCREDIBLE girl who has introduced me to the world of blogging. A strange, mysterious, and frightening world. I am hoping that the blogging society will roll out the welcome carpet for me and kindly excuse any beginner faux pas that I may exhibit.
I look forward to, at a totally non-creepy level, involving myself in your lives, and hope that you vicariously relish in mine.
