I thought I mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey of long hours of work and draining reading, but I did not. I've left behind a worry free life. A life where all I lived for was shopping, traveling and partying.
Now, what I live for are Memos and outlines and IRAC and MPC v. C/L and Erie and UCC and RPP. I'm drowning in a river of endless information and the levies are going to give in. By far, this is the most challenging experience of my life and it's only the beginning.
After 4pm on December 13th there are 5 more 15-week semesters left of this road called law school. Until then, I hope I can embrace all this information and enjoy the ride.
I just have to keep on telling myself to keep my eyes on the prize.
Although my life has changed, I do not regret this decision. I'm happy that I moved back home to San Diego, although I miss my Bay Area life terribly. Living at home with the parentals is great! They cook, clean and do my laundry. I almost forgot how it felt like to be a princess in her castle.
Even if there are few available times to socialize outside of school it's always fun to catch up my SD BFFs. I've also had the chance to meet awesome people in and also outside of my section. I love my Tres Amigas/Three Stooges group and I can't forget about my Jabalawkies too, although I barely see them. Oh and the late night, second floor crew... we should think of a name!
There really isn't anything to complain about. I'm actually lucky to be able to be in the position where I am today. Just have to remind myself that I would not be where I am today if I was not supposed to be here. If I was not supposed to be in law school, I would have never gone through the process of even getting here. I'm here now and I'm not going to let anyone down, especially myself. Just have to remember that the stress is part of the journey and is part of the learning process.
