One year down...
First of all, I must congratulate myself on officially making this blog a success - I now have two entries! Whew! Mission accomplished.
Second, I must update you on life and its happenings between my last blog entry and this one....I finished my first year of law school. While some may read this and say - good for you. I look at this and say "YES!!! I MADE IT" because at times, it was questionable. Now granted, making it through your first year of law school and passing your first year of law school are two completely different things and the former I have done, the latter is yet to be determined until the release of grades in June - nevertheless, I made it.
I have to say this past year probably has been the biggest of my life. Yes I am another year older, but in that time I graduated college, got my first dog of my very own, got my first apartment, lived by myself for the first time, started law school, completed law school, had some interesting experiences, met knew people and made life long friends.
That last one is the biggie. I went into law school terrified. New town, new people, whole different ballgame. However, I have met some of the most amazing people through school. Granted some of it might be due to the fact that there are 120 of us stuck in a building together just trying to survive and really have no outside contact with anyone not in law school - but nevertheless here we are.
This year has been one of the hardest of my life, not only all the changes and new things taking place but for the simple fact that Law School is hard...and you read this and say DUH Savannah. However, I dont think I expected it to be as hard as it is. I have always been good at school; school has been my thing. I graduated top of my class in college with every honors you can imagine. But here is the thing - you go to law school and everyone was at the top of their class. There are no more quizzes, homework assignments or movies in classes - instead it is 100 pages of reading a night, being on call in class, four page fact patterns, one page multiple choice question and 100% of your final grade exams. Yeah - it sucks. The work sucks. It is hard. But I can honestly say that as much as I complain about it - I truly truly love it. A lot of that has to be contributed to the atmosphere of the school, the professors, and mostly my friends. Without them it would be impossible. And is contract law how I would ideally like to spend my time? No. But do I appreciate its value and why I am learning it - definitely.
Even on my worse days - when I am behind in reading, got humiliated in class, fighting with my friends and wondering why I am paying thousands of dollars to do this to myself - I can still take a step back and say "Thank You" to God for allowing me to be in the position where I can have those problems and to be doing something I truly love. Now - Someone please remind me of this in two weeks when I am in the midst of summer classes and up to my ears in reading. :)
It has been one amazing year - the ups, the downs, the work, the tears, the smiles, the laughter, the stress, the grades, the people, the friends, the experiences. I owe so much of it to the people in my life that have helped me get through it - now only two more to go :)

Official Blog Failure
I admit it...I am officially a "blog" failure. On numerous occasions for the past year I have tried to get onto the bandwagon of having my own blog. I mean who wouldn't want to read about my "oh-so-exciting" law school life? However, despite my religious following of other people's blogs, I failed to ever write more than one entry for each blog I started (yes there were a few). Now granted, this should come to no surprise considering the number of diaries I started as a child and look back on now to find one entry stating that this was my diary and I was going to write in it everyday....again, fail. I guess my justification is like I said before, who would want to follow my life? But lately I have come to the realization that it is not to much about other people, but more of a creative outlet for me. My Friend Ribbon (explanation to come), inspired me when she got onto this journal writing kick and the highlight our days was hearing what she wrote about...even though we lived it, and knew about it, it was neat to look back at it and laugh.... with this being said, here is attempt number who knows what...we will see how long it lasts :)
