HERE I AM!

For those of you wondering, I didn’t forget about the blog. I just really didn’t have anything to say and have been pretty busy and stressed. My life was so up in the air for so long. I have just been going to school, hunting for a job (which I never found), and stressing out about the next phase of my life.

Well now I know! I am going to be continuing my studies and going for my PhD in Administration of Justice at my undergraduate school. I feel much better knowing where I will be in 7 weeks. I went down this past weekend to talk to the professors, sign up for classes, meet the other students, find a place to live (which didn’t go well) and go the Homecoming game. After my experience, I knew I made the right decision. I can’t just sit around after school and hope I get a job, because if I don’t then I can’t pay my bills! This way I can further my education (something I knew I would go back and do anyway) while possibly working part-time only an hour and a half from the majority of my family and friends.

The program is great; there are only a few students, which means tons of attention and more opportunity to work on professional articles for publication and research with professors. Plus, I will be only 90 miles from my husband! YAY!

So off I go! In the next two months I am taking the MPRE, finishing up a paper and final exams, trying to find a place to live, graduating from law school, moving all my furniture and stuff 5 hours away, and somehow celebrating Thanksgiving/Christmas/Anniversary. Ahhhhhh! So if I am MIA again, you will know why! ☺
