Fall...

I absolutely love fall! It is definately my favorite season. With the temperature cooling, humidity dwindling, and beautiful fall colors coming alive it just makes me happy. If you've ever seen "You've Got Mail," you may remember the scene where Tom Hanks' character Joe Fox is writing to Meg Ryan's character, Kathleen Kelly where he says he loves New York in the fall and it makes him think of freshly sharpened pencils. I love to watch that movie in the Fall- it just makes me happy.

This semester has been somewhat interesting so far. I think I might just possibly have a new version of senior-itis. I can't seem to stay completely interested in what i'm reading or what I'm supposed to be learning- maybe that has something to do with the Fall as well, I'd rather be sitting outside reading a great book! Fall break is next week and I'm headed back home to spend some time with my family, relax, and try to become interested in my classes for this semester so that I can actually pass my exams in December!!

So, as I leave you this time, enjoy the wonderful beauty that is fall, take in the smells, colors, and fresh air and go watch "You've Got Mail" and it will make you happy too!

Hey everyone! So I has been a while since I've written anything but better late than never, right? My summer was awesome! I had a great time at home with my family and I bought the Country Mega Ticket with a friend of mine which basically gets us 5 country concerts for a really good price. We still have two more concerts coming up that I'm really looking forward to. I interned with a small 2 lawyer firm back home. It was good experience to see lawyers in action.

My 3L year so far has been a little crazy. I started a new GA job with the School of Education and haven't managed to catch up and get ahead in all my classes yet. But i'm planning on doing that this weekend. I have some pretty hard classes this semester: Individual Federal Income Tax, Evidence, UCC II, Negotiations, and Wills, Trusts, and Estates. So far they have been pretty interesting. My main goal this year is to work hard trying to find a job (by applying to as many places as humanly possible) and passing all my classes...because starting in May is the hard road towards BAR prep that I'm very nervous about. But with God's help, anything is possible!!

Well...It has been quite a while since I've posted anything. To tell you the truth, I completely forgot about this blog. This semester has been a little crazy since I had night classes three nights a week- I suggest avoiding night classes at all costs. We only have two days of classes left then exams start. Although the prospect of exams makes me completely nervous, I'm very excited that in a little over 2 weeks I'll be home for the summer! I didn't get to go home for the whole summer last year since I worked here in Chesapeake. But this summer I have an internship with a lawfirm near my home town so I will be working there and living at home and coming here every so often to visit the beach. One of the things that I'm really looking forward to this summer is May 19th- my best friend is getting married and I get to be her Maid of Honor. I'm so excited for her because I know she has found the perfect man for her. Another exciting (non school related) thing that I will be doing between now and October is going to 5 awesome country concerts here in VA Beach. I'm sooooo excited! I absolutely love country music; it just makes me happy! In August I will be starting my third year of law school. In some ways it feels like the past 2 years have gone by so fast but in other ways it feels like it is dragging- I guess that's just because I'm so ready to graduate. BUT, I'm definately not looking forward to taking the BAR. Either way, I'm looking foward to starting my last year of law school and hopefully passing with flying colors, studying for the BAR, then becoming a lawyer in a small town- just like I have been working towards. But now its time for me to get back to studying, so until next time- God Bless.

Welcome to 2007. That sounds completly crazy! Well I survived first semester so I'm officially half-way through law school. This semester is really interesting so far because I have night classes three nights a week. So far I still haven't gotten used to my schedule so I'm a little sleep deprived at the moment. I am taking Constitutional Criminal Procedure, Entertainment Law, Professional Responsibility, Labor Law, and Constitutional Law II. Entertainment Law is so interesting although its a 3 hour night class so that is a little tough. I am also going to be doing my rigorous writing paper this semester and at this point I think my topic is going to be dealing with the Screen Actor's Guild. I will keep you posted on how everything is going!
