On my way!

Ok...so not quite on my way yet but very shortly I will be packing everything up and moving up north to begin my 1st year of Law School. I want to use this blog to keep my family and friends updated as I begin to take this journey of a life time all on my own. Of course, I have had to have a ton of support from those that I love to even get this far and can only imagine the emotional support I will need moving forward.

It has been two years (really two and a half because of studying abroad) since I have been in serious school mode. This makes me nervous heading into probably the most difficult workload and curriculum I have ever experienced. But something that I do have now that I didn't have two years ago is life experience that showed me that this is really what I want to do. Law has always been in the back of my mind but when I graduated with my bachelor degree's all I wanted to do was take a break and work! It's funny how working can make you want to do nothing but get back in school. I think they call that perspective.

People say everything happens for a reason and as time progresses, I think that may be true. Or I sure hope it's true. I have had heart break and I have given out heart break (never on purpose). I have stayed true to myself and I have strayed from myself (but never too far). I have cried on the floor and had to have someone I love pick me up and I have had to pick up those that I love. I have doubted myself before and I have been confident before. Sometimes I am too emotional and sometimes I am not emotional enough. I am a scary equal mix of my Mother and my Father.

I am excited to jump into this journey completely. I don't feel like I have anything holding me back and I feel lucky to be able to do something by myself and for myself. I am not going to be afraid to ask for help and I will need encouragement and love along the way but I promise that I will try my best all the time. This truly will be determining the rest of my life and I am committed to making the rest of my life the best it can be. I can't promise this blog will always be positive and sometimes you may say "is that the girl I knew" but just know that I am growing and I am learning and I invite you all to read and comment along the way.
