So many things..
It not enough to say I've been a bad blog writer. I truly know that I've been terrible at writing. I can admit my weaknesses...
Where to start...
School ... so immensely hard and time consuming. But crazy to think back at the Junior Core last year and realize that I did it and I did well. This year doesn't seem as frantic ... I don't feel like I can't possibly remember everything that we were supposed to know...The pace is just a little slower, which makes it a bit more attainable in my mind. But I still feel so crazy busy ALL THE TIME...
Firms were recruiting that past few weeks. That caused me a little anxiety...I'm too old, or not smart enough, or whatever.... but I've been offered two internships for winter and I've accepted one of them....the firm is just two or three minutes away...great commute! I felt that they really would support me and understand my situation. Kind and professional partners and supportive staff. I'm incredibly nervous but excited all the same. Really, being offered the internship at this firm (which was my first choice all along) was really an answer to many prayers. It was the first conversations that I had last year with a partner that seemed encouraging and hepful. Made me consider seasonal employment and realize that it would fit with my life. Then each interaction that I had with them was professional and sincere. Attended a intense open house where you were literally taken into an office for a mini interview with different partners and managers. I think I talked with at least six or seven people in the course of two hours. But I came out of it feeling so positive about the experience. I came home that evening just hoping that I had made a good impression. As I was sitting at my desk thinking about the night, I had the impression that I was going to get the internship. An answer to my prayers that school would be worth it and lead to something that was worth my time to be studying. A way to provide for our family's future. Peace of mind. And a way to be prepared for anything that may happen. Paul's been hit by a car and unemployed. I don't want to ask what's next :)
