Hello 3 L Year!

I am ready for you!

This semester [and year!] is going to fllllllly by, I just know it.

Between classes, time in the clinic, work outs, yoga classes, indoor soccer, a new job [as the official law school blogger! yay!], and squeezing in time for fun with friends and family-

the weeks are already passing by super quickly!

I am super psyched fall is here, which means Pumpkin Season is here too :)

I am looking forward to my last year in law school.

*I am going to be sure to take advantage of this time to have fun with my friends before we all go our separate ways in May.

*I also want to clearly define what I want in my life and career, post-graduation.

*I want to make sure to take time out to Stop and Smell the Sunflowers.

* I want to explore new spots in the closest big city, Pittsburgh.

*And I am having fun trying out new styles and reworking my closet and accessories in unexpected ways :)

Hope all is well in your world!

Stay tuned for more updates from the Law Ladies.

We welcome you back!

Life as a 3L

Today begins my 3rd week as a 3rd year law student.
WOW--time sure does fly.
Here are a few photos I snapped over the past few weeks

Gorgeous drive through WV on my way to a Clinic meeting.

Gorgeous drive take 2.

Homework!

Look forward to some law school and life inspired posts coming up from my fellow Lady Law Bloggers!

Hot damn, summer in the (small) City!

This year I will be spending my summer in my hometown of Vienna, WV.

A park that I love to walk in when I am home.
I am so lucky to have such a beautiful place right down the road from my house!

{The Jackson County Courthouse in Ripley, WV}

I will be spending my summer days not lazing by the pool, but helping West Virginia's indigent criminal defendants with their cases while working at the Ripley, WV Public Defender's Office.

I will also be spending lots of quality time with my momma, going on vacation with my guy and his family and making mini road trips to Morgantown and Columbus.
I am looking so forward to this summer--it is sure to be a great time :)

I'm A LOVER.

It's not easy for me to tackle a taxing task such as narrowing down my love interests.
But, for you lovely readers, I will do do my best!


*Coffee-

Do I even need to say anything more?
Just check out this video, for more than ample proof.

*This dog-

[see how he can trick you?

doesn't he look deceptively cute?!]

He bites me.
It hurts.
BAD.
He makes me yell.
Then he looks oh so cute after.
I forgive him.
We cuddle.
Then the cycle repeats.
Times infinity...

*This dude-

He's cute. And smart.
And for some crazy reason he likes me too.
I know- how wild!

*Road Trips with Coffee, This Dog and This Dude-

Again- view the video.


*And, of course- these girls!

Law school would be bland and dull without them.
[Not saying that sometimes it still can't be! ;) ]
