i have been the poster child for lazy lately.  case in point - i am still wearing my pajamas at 9 pm.  in fact, i'm not sure i even left the house today.  but i have a very good reason for that - evidence!  this subject has kept me busy all day long.  tomorrow is my last final of my second year of law school and i could not be more excited!  this has been a difficult semester in the sense that i have been a bit less than motivated to work.

but alas...its almost over.  that means that i can finally clean my apartment (i have a nice layer of mold building up in my shower), i can write thank you notes, i can visit my soon-to-be-hubby and more importantly, i can focus all my attention on this little event i have coming up.

its been a roller coaster...this thing called law school.  i seriously wonder if i would do it again had i known what it was really like.  but then i think about all the rewarding moments from these past few years - and there have been plenty...in fact, maybe more than there were rotten moments.  more than anything, this degree will open up the vault of opportunities for me and joel and for that reason alone i would do this all over again.

its amazing how much we forget when we are no longer in a tough situation - i think that's a gift from God to encourage us to continue to pursue the hardest things in life.  amy and i were talking about first year and i was saying how proud i was of myself for handling it so well. she chose that moment to bring up the fact that more often than not i was in tears...maybe she's right.  but i'm not in tears anymore so in my mind i handled first year like a champ.

this summer is going to be a blast and i cannot wait for my next adventure...life at a big law firm.  we'll see if all the stories are true.
