It's been almost a year since I last updated. I was going to try and keep this blog going, but summer happened, 40-hour/week summer job happened, relationship drama happened, good things happened, school happened, graduation requirement drama happened, school kept happening, a puppy happened, and school continues to be happening, and I finally feel like saying something.
So, yes, I don't have much to blog about on a regular basis, as my life has mostly consisted of homework, class, and interning these last few months. I graduate in about a month and a half, and I'm looking forward to that. I'm going back to work at the law office, and I'm really thankful that they're giving me this job. It's not in my field, but it's a regular, steady, paying job that doesn't make me want to blow my brains out. My boyfriend also lives next door to the office. I think this is a much more fortunate set up than most of my fellow graduates will likely happen upon, so I'm definitely not complaining.
I also got a puppy. She's a blue heeler that my friends Danny and Katie found lost on campus one cold December day. I fell in love with her and brought her home to my parents.
After discovering her affinity for biting fingers, we lovingly named her Charlie and as I type this, she's lying on the floor looking at me with big brown eyes that clearly say, "I'm bored. You should put that stupid computer down and come pet me."
She also recently had a run-in with a skunk, though, and until the smell wears off a bit more, I'm going to keep most of the playing in the category of "fetch."
She's a good dog though, and aside from her roaming a bit too far from home, we haven't had any real problems with her. She's smarter, better behaved, and has more personality than quite a few humans that I've met, and I'm glad I could bring her to a good home.
So life is going on. I'm getting through my final semester of college, working on making the transition to "the real world," and enjoying what I can while trying not to stress about what I can't.
Hopefully I'll update this more soon, but I won't make promises.
