Add gin, sugar, and club soda. And, if necessary, seek legal advice (but not from me).
Ta da! Life-0; Tom Collins - 1.
And with that piece of delicious, but hopefully non-dependency-forming advice, welcome to my blog! With the huge changes approaching my life in T-minus 6 weeks, I figured that now was the perfect time to take the plunge and start blogging. Hopefully I can keep this up after I start law school...
Please bear with me as I navigate the structure and content of my site--suggestions and tips are always welcome! I am technologically-challenged to say the least. But in any case, I anticipate this being a place for me to keep friends and family updated on my life and vice versa, with random links, poems, book reviews, recipes, and pictures of puppies thrown in from time to time.
Soo, to describe the past 3 years in a paragraph:
I graduated from the University of Kansas in 2008 with my BA in political science and economics. Rock Chalk Jayhawk! After a brief (but wonderful) stint working for the Democratic National Committee in DC, I enrolled in the political science master's program at Oklahoma State University. I just turned in my thesis examining NGO engagement in civil war peace processes, hallelujah! Hopefully, hopefully I will defend it soon and get on with enjoying my summer. Graduate school has been a great intellectual challenge for me and I've grown to love Stillwater very much--Go pokes! It was with great hesitation that I decided to attend law school instead of going on for a PhD, but I'm growing more and more comfortable with this career change every day. This summer I have been reading a ton, going to concerts, tanning by the pool and hanging out at Keystone lake. Not a bad way to spend a summer, right? I'm not sure what the next year has in store for me, but I'm looking forward to the adventures that await.
Until next time, peace!
