Just as I am...

back to the beginning

Its funny how history repeats itself. Now that I am applying to law school, I kind of feel like I'm a freshman again, but that was four years ago. I'm going to the same school Oakland University, but it will be Cooley law School at Oakland. I thought about applying to University of Detroit Law, but I'm most likely going to go with Cooley. It feels wierd to say "well, I'm going to apply here and here and here, and act like you are all going to do that, and then, you just kind of realize, ..wait, this is really the only place I want to go, please just let me in

But of course, it can't be that simple, but it is possible.

I just pray that I am going the right way. I the guidance of my mom and dad, so I think it will be ok. It is hard, though at times, and you just hope you are going the right way, but you know that you will probably mess up on more than one occasion, but that's part of being human and that's the one thing you have in common with everybody else on the planet. I'm just thankful that I have an advocate ready and willing to cover my mistakes. His death on the cross is what I depend upon.

Now we are all moved into the new house. Mom, Dad, and me are a three person team in this adventure. Plus, it helps to read biographies of people that are inspirational in my walk of faith.  

I have really been paying alot of attention to biographies and autobiographies of some of people whose life, and the legacy they left encourages me to carry on in my walk with Christ, and to trust Him no matter what. It is that attitude that helps me to be the best I can.

Anyways, hopefully next time I come back to write, I'll know for sure which school I'm going to.

wow, its been a long time

Haven't blogged in forever.

My last entry was in October its now the end of February, I have learned so much in the past five months.

I now know that I can follow instructions better and listen harder. I am now a sucessful secretary handling difficult situations left and right. I finaially reaced a level of confidence. It will look good on my resume, and my expierence really disciplined me in a way that I needed it. But I cannot stay there forever, because law school is on the way!!

I am signing up to take the LSAT in June, and I think I might want to specialize in intellectual property and entertainment law. (I am also contemplating some enviormental, but I'm not sure).

I think my goal now is to be a lawyer who assists in copyright transactions for artists. I hope perhaps I might become a songwriter, and thus prove my personal intrest in the subject. So it won't be just a job, but something I deal with myself.

So I am looking at going to Cooley Law School here at Oakland, but I can only do that for the first couple of credits, then, if they do not settle a lawsuit they are currently in about whether Oakland can offer all the credits needed to graduate, I would have to re-locate. But I don't know. What I can say is I can still stay at home to take the first couple of credits.

Speaking of home, tommorow, I'm going over to our house in Rochester to put some paint samples up against the walls of my new room to see what color I want to paint it. My mom doesn't want me to buy any more shelfs, but I know I will need a shelf for my new room, there's just no way around it. So I hope she will come to an understanding with me that I need a shelf for my room. I'm not sure why she doesn't want one right now, it only makes sense for me to have a shelf.

So I think the room will be a color called "honeybird" which is like a peach/gold color. Hopefully there wil be some cabnet bookshelfs, and maybe a different bed post that matches the cabnets. That's all I really need for right now.

So hopefully September will roll around soon and I'll be living in Rochester and going to lawschool.

adulthood

So anyways, this is it, adulthood. Work, food and sleep. Seems so mundane. But something amazing happons. You learn responsiblity, you learn to have a head on your shoulders. I have to dress in office attire everyday for work. No more going to class in sweats. Its an actual business suit now.

When I leaver the office, it is so hard to unwind. I mean I am still thinking of what I will need to do for the next day. It was like that when I left on Friday. So and So was scheduled for a half hour appointment when it should have been and hour. Now you have to cancel him. Then you leave a message and wonder for the rest of the day if he got it and pray that he calls back to reschedule. So those are like the little mini-crises that happen now and then. Finially yesterday I took a nap and slept for like 4 hours durring the day. After that my mind finially cleared.

So now I guess my prayer is to become more of a professional at work. To feel comfortable and not so on edge. It should be better this week because the one person who works a lot with scheduling the doctor will be back, and she answers the phones a lot when we are busy making reminder calls or checking in patients.

I plan to read more about medicine and privacy laws, just so that I can feel more confident . I won't really use that info because I am just a secretary and can't give out medical info. But I think knowing what the laws mean might help.

Anyways, I do feel more confident after this weekend for some reason. Went shopping with mom at meijers, borders and best buy. I like the idea of going where you have to and feeling relaxed because you know what you are doing. Hopefully I can keep this attitude for a long time to come

Learning about prayer

This past weekend I went to the conference done by Anne Graham Lotz. She was a really good speaker and I feel like I came away from it very close to Christ. I discovered I had a  lot of misconceptions about prayer. Also, I discovered that there is absolutely no reason for me ever to doubt the goodness of God.

So my prayers have changed a little. I would say that they are bolder, and more honest. I think the Lord likes it this way
