I have been planning for almost a year. The plane tickets are bought, the rental house is paid, the rental cars are reserved. Now we just wait to leave. I am so excited. It will be like hearding cats to and from the airport, but once we get to the beach house it will be an experience to remember..

How I did it: After my frist week of Law School and lugging around all my 40lbs of books/laptop, plus all the new stress...I was prompted by necessity to schedule an appointment! My first one was at Massage Envy on a Friday evening and it was fabulous! After that, I investigated whether my medical insurance would cover it, and when I found out that it did, I searched for a local massage therapist that took my insurance. I had to get a referral from my … Read how I did it…
After three grueling years of working full time and going to school in the evenings….I will GRADUATE from LAW SCHOOL on December 17, 2011!!!! Just over 5 months away! It has changed me, made me stronger, and most of all has made me gratful for my family and friends and thankful for the chance to be able to have more time to spend with them! I can’t wait to have my “life back”! :-)
After graduation…there is the Bar Exam to pass…but I will be done with school….FOREVER!
I started Law School June 2008, after a whirlwind decision to go for it. My original goal was to finish my Clinical Psych degree, but I just wasn’t feeling it. I decided to go to Law School in December of 2007, quickly investigated when the next LSAT exam was and took it Feb ‘08. I negotiated a transfer at my job to work at our office that was in Seattle, in case I got admitted. Everything fell into place. I submitted my application to Seattle University in March and was admitted and in class by June! I have now been in Law School for 7 months. I have just completed my first full semester and am heading back to my second tomorrow. WOW! It is definitely a challenge. I am working and going to school at night, so I spend my weekends doing nothing but studying. I miss my friends, family and hanging out doing fun things….BUT…I am here and I know it will be worth it.
