So. Lots of things this week. We'll go with list format, since I'm sleepy.
- Investigated UW law school
- Sent resume to law firm that does judicial foreclosures; hopefully it will kill or reaffirm interest in law. Barring that, higher pay maybe? I've been asking for a raise at work since February now, and have gotten nothing but empty promises.
- Somehow managed to get into a spiffy awesome photo project with the squeezable Kyle freaking Cassidy. This has pleased me more than it should.
- This week is the week of photography, apparently. I've been wanting a good camera since the beginning of this year and have been reading up on specs and whatnot. That culminated in me getting a freaking awesome camera today. Expect way too many pictures in the coming weeks as I play with it.
- Overcome the block that kept me at mere words a day on Mili. Chapter four will be done this weekend. I have to rewrite it, because it's REALLY BAD, but hell, it'll be done.
- Rediscovered Beatles. Mmm. Beatles.
- Getting Stuff done at work. It's a good feeling knowing that yeah, I can get a DIL done in three weeks when I haven't inherited tons of problems from the previous DIL person.
- Summer starts next weekend -- how should I celebrate? I have no access to bonfires. Perhaps I'll stay up all night. I would love to go out to the non-city and gaze at the stars, but night comes so late and ends so early. I go to bed when it's light out and wake up when it's light out. Bizarre.
- More fear. I've started taking my pills again to make it go away. I hate the fear.
- I think I fear stasis. Being where I am now a year from now terrifies me. I need to keep moving. Life needs to keep moving. Stagnation fills me with dread.
- Hence looking at other options for my life. What do I do? What interests me? What can I use to support myself while I fail at writing?

I didn't know you were thinking about law. That is exciting. From what I know from my friend who works for a foreclosure firm, it is a lot of data entry and file work, not unlike what you are already doing. It is definitely the place to look for a job right now in the legal field, but be on the look out for stress/panic feeling. It isn't necessary, but a lot of firms are feeding on it right now and it is just not healthy.

Um on law school, be prepared to hate it if you go through it. I am not saying that it is bad or you shouldn't, but it is an intensive socialization process that makes it hard to go through if you don't fully dedicate yourself to the process (i.e. - have other people in your life who are not going through law school). Make sure to work something out with Cera before hand, to let her tell you when you go off the deep end (it doesn't make sense, but every friend I have that had a relationship survive law school had a date night set and listened when their partner thought they might have gone crazy).

Good luck. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
