January Recap

Monday, January 31, 2011

I have been so naughty and not wrote anything all month long.  Since it is the last day of the month I thought I would recap it before my chance to write for this month ran out.  First, we spent New Year's Eve at John's Grandma's house with almost all of his aunts, uncles, and cousins.  After this John still had vacation for a week only to go back for a few days and be sent back home for snow.  The problem with the snow is that we live on a really tall hill that has only two ways to enter.  Both of our entrances were too slick to go up so we had to park at the bottom of the hill and hike a half a mile up the hill to our home.  We got our car the next day after some neighbors salted and pushed the snow off the roads.  What a long walk in the snow, but you know what it taught me.  We are so out of shape that in a disaster or bad situation we would not last long.  I called it my jump start to exercise and have since then been making it a habit to get on the treadmill and sweat.  January has been the month of patterns-trying to get back into them after a very long Christmas break.  The other big change has been the push to make ourselves go to bed at a fairly early time so that we are not tired the next day.  This month I started my last semester of law school. Wow, what a sentence.  I am taking: Law & Psychiatry, Business Associations, Family Mediation, Preparing for the Bar, and Litigation Clinic.  Litigation Clinic is were I represent really clients as their attorney under the supervision of a professor-I am really loving it and a little scared that I will be going to court representing people starting next month.  I took my preparing for the bar exam class this last weekend and it has taught me that I will get no break after graduation.  As soon as I graduate I will have to start studying to take the Bar in July.  And to top this all off I have to somehow find time to find a job. In all everything has been busy but it also been really exciting. What a wonderful year we have ahead of us.
