I am not going to say that the office being closed for a week due to a freak snow storm is a direct result of not celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, but I am also not saying God wouldn't do that. I choose my reality and to me it felt like a hug from Heaven. Holy vengeance. : )
It also felt like a sign that I will have no excuses for not getting my law school applications in. Law school applications are time consuming and difficult enough as it is but is is always a little harder to get on a horse you have already been thrown from. I applied to 5 law schools 2 years ago and was not accepted to any of them. It was devastating at the time but I picked myself up and got a job. Now I have been in the legal field for 10 years and I have an excellent resume but I still have a dream and a goal. It would be easier to accept my life as it is, but I have never taken the easy route and I have never played it safe. That is why I have fallen on my ass so many times but I always get back up and in the end, I can count all my failures as success. It is just who I am: a risk-taker.
However, I have had to be quite social since I am no longer living alone, I was locked in the house with people. So I nearly lost my mind. But then again, that motivated me to get things done. It feels great that I have a clean house, an organized room, clean laundry, I am well rested and it is only Saturday morning! It feels like a free weekend!
On another note. I miss my little sister like crazy. I guess you could say "I've grown accustomed to her face." : ) Seriously though. It is not that I miss her because I am busting my ass and need her back at work to lighten the load, I just miss the fun little moments we used to get together: a lunch with cocktails, a document run that includes Cafe Vita, or her silly relationship with the LLF Moose. : )
I have been doing circuit training with my roommate for 9 weeks now and I am finally starting to see some positive results. It is crazy how hard it is to get my body in shape the older I get. But I am not gonna stop until I get where I want to be. I guess that is a common theme in my life right now. I am not where I want to be in my life but I am not quitting until I get there.
90% of this made me happy/proud. 10% made me sad. (statistics are not my strength, I know). Miss you too... and our crazy work life together. :(
