So for all of those who missed the update or didn't know, I officially decided to leave law school back in January. After much thought and prayer, I withdrew from Michigan State and moved back to Fresno, California. I'm now working as a secretarial assistant at Motschielder, Michaelides, Wishon, Brewer & Ryan (that's a mouthful, I know haha. Side note: I support nepotism in certain situations, and no, I'm not biased). I've been working there off and on ever since 2007, so they were happy to take me back.
As for my decision to leave law school - the thought had a pernament residence in my mind ever since Thanksgiving last year. I enjoyed what I did at law school and my grades were fine, but I just had the feeling that my place wasn't there anymore. I don't regret the decision to move out to Michigan or my decision to move back to California in the least. I needed to go to Michigan for many different reasons, some of which I think I'm beginning to understand. Needless to say, it was entirely worth it.
I've been working on several different projects including studying for the GMAT (I'm planning to take it late April). Though I haven't decided quite what to do next, I'm thought that this test would be a good start. I've also been editing my book and hope I'll have the first two edits done by the end of the March (wish me luck!). I'm finally starting to work on some of those art prizes I owe to certain people. Mostly, I'm just enjoying living with my family again and being able to take a step and breathe again since I've been working on school almost constantly the last 3 and half years since I graduated from high school.
Now as to what I've been thinking about is the juxtaposition of these two songs: Higher Window by Josh Groban (which I mentioned before as one of my favorite songs of all time) and I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. I've been viewing them as a sort of "song of the heart"s for two characters of mine - the words kind of represent the point of view of their hearts. These characters are singing about each other and have been for years, and yet neither one realizes that they are now in a position where they are free to love each and to let this emotion show. They are both stuck thinking that they are the only one that loves the other, and yet one thinks it's too late for him to the take the chance, and the other thinks that it's best that they are separated. Consider the sort events that would bring this sort of separation. Consider what would make an individual so certain of their own emotions that they are so blinded to the truth.
What does all of this mean?
I have a new idea for something spectacular (if I may say so).
