summer time!

It’s official: My first year of law school is COMPLETE. I am really really happy.

As I drove around Overland Park yesterday running errands and had some quality time with Mark last night, I just relished in all that I have accomplished over the past year. It was way tougher than I thought it would be (evidently being an apparel marketing and PR undergrad is not good prep for law school?) but the challenge helped me grow as an individual.

I also appreciate the ridiculously awesome amount of support I received from my friends and family this year. If you ever listened to me cry or complain, I’m sorry, and you’re the best. I think that my amount of complaining tapered off throughout the year (perhaps Mark would disagree) as I adjusted to it all, and I know I will be able to start my 2L year strong.

Today I came back to Lawrence to “clean” my apartment before my lovely summer subleasors move in, but really I just ended up baking all afternoon to get ready for this:

I saw this on the lovely Natalie’s blog earlier this week and knew this was how I wanted to spend my first day of summer vacation - baking for a good cause!

I made some Snickerdoodle Blondies and Martha Stewart Strawberry Shortcake Cookies.

Tomorrow I am going to hit up the gym and do a little shopping at the Legends. I think Mark and I have one last Minsky’s date planned, too. Last for a while, that is. I know it won’t be the last one forever! Good pizza is hard to find :)
