Still Surviving...

The world is leaving me behind.  I feel like it is groundhog's day.  I get up and do the same thing every damn day.  Study & Sleep...Study & Sleep...Study & Sleep.  I thought I had managed to cut my emotions off, but they hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday.  I could barely function.  It was pathetic.  Before I continue on with this sob story, let me turn it around.  It hit me today that what I am doing--studying for the bar--isn't anything special.  People in this world are faced with real problems, real heartache, and real devastation.  As a friend told me in an email about a month ago, taking the bar and becoming a lawyer is a privilege and not a right.  

I promise when I make it to July 26th...this blog will become "fun" again.  Back to weddings, pictures, nights out, and a whole lot of smiles.

Xoxo,

Alive...

In case you were wondering, I am still alive.  Well, barely, but still alive all the same.  I have made it to Week 5 of bar study.  The big exam is 6 weeks from tomorrow.  Like everyone, I want this to be over.  I want to lay on a beach, drink bubbly, and live the good life, BUT, part of me, just part, feels like this:

Time is RUNNING OUT....and I have a lot to learn.
