third's a charm

Summer is officially over and I had my first day of classes today . . . my last first day to be precise.

The end of my summer was pretty amazing; I spent a little more than two weeks in Brooklyn, getting acquainted with the neighborhoods, running errands, and feeling what it would be like to live there. The prospect of moving out to New York after graduation is daunting, but exciting at the same time because it would come with so many jumps in my life. I was able to have lots of great quality time with Hayes, which was so so great after spending the summer apart.

My birthday was relaxing as I spent it wandering around Brooklyn, relaxing at Prospect Park, watching the sunset on a Park Slope rooftop, and having a nice dinner in Manhattan. It reminded me that simple days can be absolutely wonderful if you strip away any time stresses, worries, or expectations.

This semester will be interesting as my largest class has less then twenty-five people and my smallest class has only nine. I will be interning two days a week at the U.S. Attorney's Office and further honing my research and writing skills. I am excited to keep staying busy with work and being productive.

In exciting news, my student note was selected for publication for Public Interest Law Journal's fall edition. This means that I will be a published author, which is both exciting and a little nerve wracking. It is gratifying though to have a piece that I labored over for months be used as a source of knowledge to the academic world.

Life is a bit scary and uncertain now, but it's also extremely extremely blessed.
