I am less than two weeks away from my first law school final exam! Each exam is FOUR HOURS LONG! Although I know the time will pass quickly when I get into the exam, I'm dreading the 16 hours that will be taken from my life- not to mention the other gagillion hours spent making outlines and studying. Arggg. I'm not having much motivation outside of the law school to read or study.
On a more positive note- I am so thankful that I met the most amazing three girls in law school. They motivate me to be a nicer person, they force me to check in my behavior, and also allow me to realize my character flaws. They also help with understanding materials, studying, creating outlines, planning ahead, and most of all, realizing I'm not alone. A lot of other people at school have been experiencing mental and emotional breakdowns, and I truly believe it's these friends that prevent me from going through that traumatic experience myself. At Thanksgiving, we went around the table and said what we were thankful for, and I jokingly said that I was thankful to not have experienced an emotional breakdown yet. But I realize that I am truly thankful, not only that, but for my great support system of my new friends, my boyfriend, my sisters and brothers, and my parents.
One more thing-It's my boyfriend, Kendal's, birthday today. I hope that he experiences all the joy in the next year that he brings to everyone in his life- especially mine. I'm so thankful for his presence in my life. I understand that it was God's plan for the two of us to be separated for the next few years in order to each accomplish the academic goals we have set, but I miss him so much. I feel like a big baby because I just saw him on Sunday morning, but you can't control your feelings sometimes. Hopefully I get to see him this weekend before the uproar of finals coming soon. That being said, Happy Birthday baby! I love you!
Hope you all had a great thanksgiving!
XOXO
P.S. I'm SO excited for Christmas and the arrival of my new baby niece! <3
