This is awesome! Wish I had done something like this for every year end, would make it a whole lot easier to write those memoirs later ;) Great to learn more about you, sounds like you had a pretty kick ass year all around!
Getting through law school without losing your mind is so much harder than it sounds, huh? hahaa HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Remember, you are half a lawyer! The end is in sight! :)
hello there...this is me doing some catching up. :)
first, i must say that you.are.AWESOME! thanks for everything. i mean it.
second, "I don't regret anything. I learn from it." is now my favorite quote.
and last, that unexplained and mysterious pain? i had that once too. i even had an ultrasound done because my doctor thought he was going to have to remove my gallbladder. it was perfectly healthy even though i had numerous symptoms that said otherwise. he told me that sometimes gallbladders just have little hiccup type stalls in their function and they need to reboot like a computer. i haven't had any problems since then either.
