I probably shouldn't be allowed to make life decisions while PMSing. In any case, I'm still in love with both law schools and am being given a FREE TRIP TO HOUSTON to visit UH one last time before I have to choose between ND and UH. Let's see what happens.
I'm SOOOOOOOO excited to go home!!!!!!
somewhere north
'cause I give you my life and all I am...

Ah, I miss Mexico. I miss the way it smells - the salty air, the plants, everything...
So I think I'm down to two law schools - Notre Dame and University of Houston. I really wish I had more of a hunch as to where to go, but I don't feel that burning desire to pick one over the other. Sigh.
A part of me isn't ready to let go of my college years. It's so close to being finished. My family will be here in two months. I'll be graduating. It'll be over. Four years will finally be completed, and it'll be time to pack up for good. Full circle. Just as my family and I moved up here with my only belongings packed into four suitcases, I will once again meet them here, put my life into those bags, and return home. Perhaps forever, perhaps not. I just wish I knew. It's enough to make me tear up some before I go to bed at night. I've loved Notre Dame with all my heart.
Time to grow up. Everyone's doing that now it seems. Jobs, engagements, etc... good and bad ideas, I think, depending on the person involved. People who didn't know their significant others was breathing the same air just a few years ago are now incapable of imagining their lives without them. I am guilty as charged when it comes to that. Three years with John. Three years spent learning his quirks, his smile, his shortcomings, his magnificent way of touching people's lives, the little emails I get with pictures of dachshund puppies... everything. And yet I still don't know everything, and I can't imagine my future without him in it. It's rather scary at times.
Notre Dame has changed me in countless ways. My life will forever carry the imprint of the four years I have spent on these 1200 acres in the bleak Midwest city of South Bend, Indiana.
Two. more. months. Treasured.
