Working Life, School Life, No Life

Today, I began my first day of work as a legal associate intern at Thomson Reuters. Initially, I thought working 20 hours a week and being a full-time law student would skyrocket the stress levels and I'd be cutting off communication with the world (I guess it is only the first day); however, I'm excited for this challenge and I'm looking forward to using my newly-acquired first semester skills. Working is going to be a much-needed break from school, and vice-versa. I'm convinced that with a positive attitude and a focused mindset, I can juggle the multiple facets of my life and still have time to take my dog on walks. I'll be part-time until April, when, finally, I can peace out first year law school and sprint into the arms of summer, and then eventually move to full-time in May. Life will be hectic, but I can't wait. I'm going to try and update this blog every few days; but until then, happy hump day! 

THIS is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless, Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best.
Night, sleep, and the stars.  --Walt Whitman, "A Clear Midnight"
