I have been home sick for four days straight. My head is stuffy, my nose is runny and I’m coughing like a 90 year old chain smoker. Good news is I’m feeling better. Bad news is I have two mega sized papers to write before next Thursday. Ah, well. Soon I will have a bona fide Master’s Degree and a one-way ticket to anywhere but here.
Being stuck at home with nothing to do but homework has given me a lot of time to think about life and relationships. I think it’s about time I set some actual goals for myself and then declare them to the world for accountability’s sake. So, here goes.
1. I am going to read at least three works of classical literature this summer. Maybe I’ll start with Little Women (sorry Beth).
2. I’m going to enjoy Chicago to its fullest this summer. Plays, parks, Taste of Chicago, baseball, concerts. You name the day and I am in!!
3. I am going back to Texas for a while. I miss my family and friends and my sister is having a baby soon. I want to be there to help out. and in Texas I can get to know myself again.
4. I am going to law school (don't know where yet). But I was born to argue and defend the oppressed. Anyway, everyone I’ve mentioned this to so far has eagerly affirmed this decision, so I feel I am moving in the right direction. I’m going to specialize in international law/human rights and spend the rest of my life trying to make a difference. We’ll see.
I think that’s enough for now. That should keep me busy for the next two or six years!!

I hope you have a great summer, and that being home will be even more than you could expect. What is life in Texas like? I bet it suits you :)
I'm blown away with your final decisions on the way forward. I'm amazed at the subject and the purpose behind it. I am totally excited about it all - and think it's a dream come true kind of work.
My computer is broke... only manage to squeeze in emails and stuff at work. Anyway - ciao x
i always thought i would end up in law school, a sick kind of cosmicly fatal joke I've played on myself. My sister said that I always have to get to the answers on my own, no one can tell me things. I suppose she's right. Anyway, after this week is over, i will be almost done with all my work, praise be to God and then I can settle down and start working out travel arrangements to come and see you. Is it better for me to come to London, or Manchester or Birmingham...i'm lost on all this intercontinental travel. Help!!
jenn.., I think you would make a fantastic law person. Here are 3 good reasons why I support you in this venture;
a.) you are good at arguing especially with guys who think they are smarter. And the courts (and seminaries) are full of those dumb asses.
b.) I think you would make a great preacher but your theology doesn't allow you that freedom. (hehehe) So by the process of elimination Law is next.
c.) and let's face it...you are kind of sketchy like most lawyers...
so yeah, you go girl.
I hear Regent in Virginia has a great Law school. Q is going there, you guys should chat.
