Sunday Mornin'

It has been a good Sunday mornin'. I was going to go buy a suit today for my career fair coming up this Friday, but instead I woke up to three inches of snow. I called my parents and talked to them for an hour, then I made a snow man. Then I walked to the park and went sledding with the neighborhood kids. It is still snowing. There are about five inches now. Good day to stay in, drink hot cocoa, and read about contracts.

Spring Semester Begins

The first day of school was today. I have yet to decide if I like my new professors. My property professor is uncharacteristically perky (I say uncharacteristically because perky is not usually a trait that law school professors possess.)

My grades were very good. Now, I must remind myself that the only reason they were good is because I worked my ass off. Had I not worked my ass off, they would have been poor. I need to be very careful not to get cocky this semester.

I loved seeing everyone over break. Towards the end of the second week I started getting restless, but now that I am back, though it feels good to be working towards my goals again, I need to get used to staying focused for long periods of time again. I can have a day on the weekends to play.

Ryan and I had a chat while I was home. He said that the only thing that he regretted about our age difference is that I still have so much yet to do before I settle down. And he's right - I still have so many dreams. It's led me to reconsider my plans for the summer. I may apply to go to South Africa for six weeks. Seriously. Although it can't hurt to get a head start on finding a job that meshes with my career goals, this is also the time to go and see the world, before I have a long term job, a family, and a mortgage that tie me to one place. At this point I don't know where I will spend the summer, because there is so much in Seattle which draws me back, and so many people I miss - but maybe I could split my time.
