happy new year. i'm going by the lunar calendar.
i can't believe that it's already february. last week, chicago got hit with a pretty serious blizzard. all of downtown chicago shut down at 3pm on tuesday through thursday. my first snow days. the winter hasn't been too bad. but i've been told that i have yet to experience real chicago winter. whatever. the blizzard last week was one of the worst blizzards chicago has seen in years. and it really wasn't that bad. so long as you stayed inside, of course.
i've been pretty busy this semester. i really have no excuse for slacking off. this is my second semester and i know what i have to do in order to perform well. my feelings about law school haven't changed much. i still enjoy it. i think i enjoy this semester even more because i actually like the subjects i'm taking. criminal law. property. contracts. fun stuff, really. especially property. i know, i'm a nerd.
i have a friend who is trying to find herself in law school. and let me tell you. law school is not the place to find yourself because it's tough to get through even when you know that you really want to do law. so i'm thankful that i am able to enjoy law school. i will admit that i'm not sure what i'm going to do after law school, but for now, i feel confident that this is where i'm supposed to be.
the current theme in my life is that God is in control. but that doesn't mean i can stand back and expect God to pull through for me when i haven't done my part. i need to work hard and prepare myself so that God can use me when he calls me. i want God to be able to use me to do great things. i need to be prepared to answer when God calls. i don't want to say, "wait up, God. give me a few years to prepare." i want to be able to say, "here i am, send me." for now, that means doing my best as a student.
it's the year of the rabbit. my year. i guess that makes this year special. we'll see.
