Wait, I'm Blogging Again?

Alright, let's try blogging round 2.

Last summer I was really keen on blogging my thoughts, feelings, and adventures for about a week. I didn't publish my blog, but I was pretty proud of the 3 posts I finished. Now, I've moved into my own apartment and did not purchase cable, so I have a lot more free time to pursue other interests, such as reading, working out, cooking, and BLOGGING!

In a year, a lot has happened. I moved out of the dorms and into an apartment near the historic Monte Vista district in San Antonio. I was hired as an intern at the Bexar County (pronounced "Bear") District Attorney's Office Criminal Trial Felony Division in the 175th District Court. I just say I intern at the DA's office to save time. I officially finished my second year of law school maintaining a 3.0 semester average for my third semester in a row. Did that sound braggy? I didn't mean it to sound braggy. (The Office Season 5). It's a little intimidating knowing in one year I will be graduating from law school and preparing to take the Bar Exam next July. EEK! I'm optimistic I'll make it, but I'm realistic knowing to be scared shitless.

I hit a couple low points this year. 2012 has not been the "year of Catherine" as I had predicted. I started having doubts of my overall self-worth. Instead of wallowing for too long, I consulted experts in the field of "Catherine"....my parents and my sister.

It's strange being 24 and still needing your parents when you're in trouble, but I have no shame saying that when things get hard, I call my mom and dad. I went home the week before Finals to study and get my head on straight and (spoiler alert) it worked!

So, I made some (seemingly) big changes in my life by moving into an adorable new apartment (it's a lime green four-plex). It doesn't have a dish washer, garbage disposal, ice maker, or central air, but I love it because it's mine. I cut my hair about 4-5 inches, bought cute new business dresses for work, bought a gym membership to the YMCA and am attempting to live without cable as long as possible.

Wish me luck and look to here for more updates that will be MUCH more interesting than this second inaugural post!
