its all figured out! I was waiting till it was all official...and today is the day!

First is the job, I already said it in a blurb, but I got a full-time paid job at a law firm. What a relief! Today was my first day...only a half day but started to be trained and it went well and I felt comfortable.

Second problem solved is the housing situation! It was getting really difficult with my current roommates breaking the lease early and dates/money were getting all screwed up that I decided to just move out and leave early with them. BUT when my landlord came last week he said if I could find two people for a July 1st move in date I could stay. I had two people from law school, one which could do July 1st and one that could do August 1st. I'm saving 1/2 of what I usually pay in June because my roommates worked it out somehow with the landlord that we only pay 1/2 for the month. Then, I decided that even with paying more for the month of July I would save money overall for the year than if I moved out and also just the comfort and joy of staying in my house!

SO i'm officially staying in my house and got a full-time job! Life is good.

The last stress, which always comes around, is FINALS! I get so bummed out but a fellow law student tried to give me a new insight to it yesterday. He explained it as a spiritual experience, which involves less sleep, less food and less communication. The communication is the hardest part for me because, as you can imagine, I like to feel socially connected. Also, I had to tell him the food part wasn't true...because even though I don't spend time making actual meals, it is the one time of year where I can justify buying sweets to help get through it! Either way, I'm going to try to think of these next three weeks in a spritual way rather than life stopping and boring studying!

But thanks everyone for all of the kind words and support during what felt like a job and housing crisis!
