I seriously don't know what happens to the time. I can't believe it has been two months since I last updated my blog. With the intensity of school and desire to spend as much time away from the computer as possible when I am not doing school work (which rarely happens), updating my blog got put on the back burner. I will try to be better at that this semester, but no promises! Since my last blog update, my first (intense) round of finals came and went, along with my first semester of law school, next went my Christmas vacation, and so did 2009 now that I think about it. Time flies when you are having fun!
Immediately following my last final, the snow in Lynchburg started. Fearful that I would be stranded here for Christmas like I was on Thanksgiving, I crafted a plan to escape the winter wonderland. So, my winter break began in Wilmington, NC. However, I did not completely escape the winter wonderland. In fact, we drove straight through it. Even though it took 8 hours to get home as opposed to 4, it was fun! I can honestly say I have now driven (or ridden rather) in tons of snow, through the mountains, in a two-door little convertible. Looking back on it now, it was quite dangerous, but at the time, I found it quite exhilarating, sort of like an unexpected twist on a roller coaster! Kids, don't try that at home....
Update of past two months since finals: Lynchburg, VA to Wilmington to Charlotte, NC to Austin, TEXAS...after five LONG months...lots of quality family time! Austin to Waco to Dallas...twice...and lots of quality friend time! Austin to Pittsburgh to Raleigh to Lynchburg. (still not sure about the logic behind that route, but I didn't have to get off the plane so it worked...). Mini trip from Lynchburg to Richmond and Jamestown to do some sight-seeing then back to Lynchburg. Reality set in...Then back to the grind...
School is back in full swing. "They" said that the hardest part of law school has passed. Although, with the rigor of the first two weeks and getting back into the swing of things, I am not sure I believe them (whoever "they" are). While first semester ended well (God's strength and grace are sufficient), I am still figuring out this law school thing, how to balance work with play, and yes, even though I have one semester down, how not to allow law school to scare the pants off of me! However, I am determined to conquer this fear with the Lord's help....I'll let you know how it goes....
I hope all is well...I will post a more thorough update soon! Until next time be blessed and know I am enjoying the snow!
