A welcome to 2009

(TJ and I at Bryan's wedding, December 20th, 2008)

One of my resolutions was to post more on this blog. I know I will be successful in general throughout the year as I know already this will be my primary means of communication while I am overseas. Yep, I like the word overseas. Let's not talk about me being abroad.

The first week of school has passed like a whirlwind. I have begun a countdown on facebook that is tracking the slow but sure progression of time towards my graduation. The last time I was not in school was 1987 thereabouts. It becomes blaringly apparent how much life is going to change.

I have 104 hours, 14 minutes until my last exam is finished. And that doesn't factor in that I may finish early. I think the hardest thing I ever do is survive that last exam, knowing the finish line is so close.

Currently, law show is taking ahold of all my spare time. I have been pulling 12 to 16 hour days to get this show up and running, and I am not even on stage at all. If there is anything that I will press on next year's director is that there is a whole lot of work to do. It is almost a friendlier, happier version of law school exams.

Thank God I am going to Mexico on the 21st. Yep, that's right - Mexico suckers.

T.J. has moved in with me now. We live together. I like it so far. The strength and encouragement that I get from knowing that he will be at home waiting for me after a really stressful, late night doing law school is immeasurable. I couldn't ask for a better *ahem* life partner.

Well, off to the gym. Some things never change (and never should!)
