That's All She Wrote Folks...

Months of studying, days interwoven with successes and failures, four tests and it was done. My post finals crash has inhibited me from writing sooner. Even now, four days later, my eyes are blurry, my brain is fuzzy and it is taking all my energy to sit down in front of a keyboard and write. It's amazing how you can be running at full throttle for so long and once you let up, just a little bit, your body doesn't know what to do. I've been so tired the last couple of days I just want to crash out on the new uber comfy couch in my mom's living room and stare at the white wall she keeps threatening to paint. On the other hand when I try to do the former scenario, I feel like I need, need, need to be doing something! No matter how tired I am my body is screaming that it needs to be up and busy. Very weird phenomenon. I'm sure if I'd gone to medical school I could have dissected the issue and gotten to the root of the problem. Since I am in law school instead, I will never know if this is normal or if I am a medical abnormality. Oh well...just something for my mind to keep itself busy with over the next four weeks!

Yes, as I said earlier finals are OVER!!! Friday at noon I submitted my Torts final and said goodbye to my first semester in law school. For better or worse it is done. I will say it was a little anti-climatic. Really weird to not have to race off and start studying for the next final. Amazing to know I could do anything I want wherever and whenever with no guilt of not studying hanging over my head. Thank you so much to all of you who have encouraged and supported me these past few months especially during finals. There were multiple times I was throwing in the towel and you were there to spur me on to completion. For that I will be ever grateful. Regardless of the outcome, it is an amazing feeling to know that I finished and that I gave it my all and did my best.

Now...I get four weeks to recoup and relax before it begins all over again. I stayed down in Salem for a couple of extra days. It was nice to spend some time in the town that I now call home, but never see. I loved being able to enjoy the beautiful apartment my roommate and I have been blessed with. Now, I am back in Lynden enjoying the snow, seeing old friends and looking forward to a well deserved break! It will be interesting to see what the next four weeks and the next semester hold!
