I'm in law school. My third year, in fact. I've wanted to be a lawyer as long as I can remember. I've also wanted to be the type of person to stay on top of things like dishes, laundry, vacuuming, brushing the cats, showering, throwing away old food, not letting food rot in the fridge, sending thank you notes and Christmas cards, returning phone calls, exercising, eating better, and a multitude of other things that don't need mentioning. I have told myself for years that as soon as I finish law school I will be that person who has neatly pressed shirts and suits, and I will enjoy wearing them everyday and going to work everyday.
I'm due to graduate in four months. I have one pair of pants that fit me and I wear them everyday.
If it's any indication of how irresponsible I still am, and how unlikely I am to be magically transformed into this uber-adult, I am currently in class, for which I have not read, typing as qiuetly as possible while the professor tells a story NO ONE would expect me to be taking notes on.
I think it's safe to say that, at 30 years of age (!!), I am who I am, and I won't be changing into a mega-lawyer anytime soon, and I need to come to terms with it. Which is what I'm doing.
It doesn't help that I have a fantastically amazing new roommate at home that occupies all my waking thoughts and energies! My little mister is now three months old, and it feels like he's been here my whole life.
Could you go to work and leave this little dude behind?
Ugh.
