Laughing is the Best Medicine

I am surviving. Surviving my internship, surviving law school (I didnt fail out my first year...AWESOME....so I guess that means they want me back....), surviving everyday life, and in the meantime trying to improve myself. I believe that each day God gives us a second chance. A second chance at making things right, a second chance at improving yourself, a second chance to smile, say you are sorry, or make a difference.

In the meantime...you will find me laughing and smiling...at least trying to..

To help me on this journey....I have found funny Anne Taintor works of art as I like to call them....why dont you try laughing today!

Hump Day

This has been a long week already and it is only WEDNESDAY! I blame it on the fact that last week was only four days and therefore my mind is wired for four day weeks. Today was a long day at the courthouse...not to much going on so I was stuck in the meat locker working on a draft opinion. The more and more I work on it the more it becomes a monster. A monster that I do not know how to tame. I almost think it is some sick joke from the law gods because this one task consists of, but not limited to, the DTPA, ripeness, standing, Rule 12 and ERIE AND HANNAH!!! It is Civil Procedure class on crack I tell ya. I am slowly trying to muddle my way through it just to survive.

Other than that nothing to exciting going on...just working and hanging out.

Check this out...I thought it was hilarious...and described internships perfectly....found it on Above the Law....

Another weekend has come and gone...

For the past two weekend I have been going non-stop. This weekend Steven and I went to an engagement party for his sister and her fiance. I met some of the other bridesmaids and talked and talked about wedding stuff. Then Saturday, Steven and I helped Kristen and Bryan move out of her apartment along with Mr. and Mrs. Leverett. It was a lot of family bonding time but I wanted to be there since I knew I would not be have the chance to spend time like that with Kristen and Bryan in the near future. They are moving to North Carolina and she is starting her 5 year residency program. I am going to miss having them in Houston so much. Steven, Kristen, Bryan and I always have such a fun time together. We get all get along pretty well and seem to always have fun together. Not having them in Houston is going to be a major adjustment. I am very happy for them though and understand that life and plans are always changing.

Topic Change:

I am starting my fourth week at the courthouse and can not believe how time is flying by. It is crazy to me that after this week I will only have two weeks left here. I have enjoyed it so much and love seeing and learning new things each and every day. This has been by far one of the best decisions and opportunities I have made. Not only will this help my resume but I have learned so much here.

Also, last night I went to a recital to watch the girls I used to babysit dance and I was almost brought to tears seeing how grown up they have become. I feel like it was only yesterday I was feeding one with a bottle and now she is going to be in 6th grade. As much as I want the next two years of law school to fly by I am starting to realize I should not take this time for granted. I need to savor each minute and be thankful for the right now rather than wishing the next two years would fly by.

Side Side Note....I love the this Anne Taintor picture.....definately describes a certain aspect of my personality
