Home?
Searching for a new place to live and to call home for an extended period of time is tiring. But I’m excited … and apprehensive. This new place will require committment – something that I did not really have to deal with at any point in my life. Growing up an Army brat, I never…

Not the Angel I’m Looking For
The summer’s getting away from me. I had so many plans – conjured in the midst of the final days of my first year – that have been added to the cache of things-to-do-but-probably-won’t-get-done. The screenplay may be put on the back burner for now. I blame two things; one of them being jury duty. …

Barely Treading Water
I love learning about the law. From learning the different rules to how to bend them, I love learning about the law. It’s almost instinctive for me; the logic of it all makes my brain fire up. But I am also extremely frustrated right now. Most of it is caused by the impending finals and…

Two Steps Forward, One and a Half Steps Back
Seems to be the way my life feels these days. Any achievements made in the past two years have almost been completely backtracked. I have no one to blame but myself. There is always a pattern that emerges from my daily life. I coast. I’ve been coasting since the minute I figured out that I…

Something about being here
Here I am, in Washington – near my parents, my high school friends, and all the other things I’ve tried running away from. You would think after six years I would come to terms with all the memories associated with this place. But it seems that I haven’t. It seems that every time I return…

Funny Thing – Time
I wish it were possible to pause time. Long enough to enjoy the great moments and to catch up on all things I set aside in order to be there for those moments. However, I would not trade those great moments for anything and they were worth every single sacrifice. This past Sunday was amazing. …

So… That Didn’t Work
Apparently, my body wanted to sleep rather than work out after I got home. It didn’t help that I kept getting distracted in something that I shouldn’t stick my nose in, no matter how much it touches upon on my life. I need to catch up on a lot of things this week. Since the…

Tonight, I Write the Saddest Words…
My first law school midterm is over. I am gearing up to tackle the next hurdle (a legal memo due on Monday). And I’m just working one day to the next, trying to keep ahead and trying to understand. But right now, I’m distracted. It seems that I only write when I am feeling less-than-stellar. …

“Nothing but the rain”
Tonight marks the end of one part of my life and the beginning of the next. I have a plethora of thoughts running through my head but I’m finding it difficult to put it into words. There’s excitement and curiousity about what’s to come, but also a bittersweet nostalgia of all the things that I’ve…

Pickin’ Myself Up
Okay, I wallowed. Just for a brief moment and then I stopped. It’s gotten easier for me to stop feeling sorry for myself and actually do something about whatever is bugging me. In that way, I have changed the most. After facing the harsh reality of my current state of existence, I reassesed by life…
