Every day I walk. I walk to and from law school, which is just over 2 miles. I haven't been able to peel myself out of bed as early as the first few weeks of school, but I am usually on the road by 7am. Putting my scarf over my head, I walk into the Seattle rain.
Seattle rain is different than rain anywhere else. It isn't foreboding, it invites you to walk. You may get a little damp. You may choose to wear sturdier footwear. However, the rain never blocks your line of vision. I would be lying to you if I said walking through the rain in Seattle didn't feel like I was walking through a music video.
Yes, sometimes I would really like to take the bus. In the mornings, often I dread going to class and I just want to plop myself on the sidewalk, and then I realize that if I did that no one would come looking or even tell me o get up off the cement and go to class. After I realize this, I convince myself that that takes all of the fun out of being stubborn.
Ha, because I am 24 now. And even if I lived near more family and friends, I doubt that they would tell a 24 year old what to do not to be a screw-up.
The weeks are going by so fast. I know I am missing moments with my friends. Hopefully this is worth it.
I don't have the energy to spend on responding. My energy lasts just long enough for me to take care of myself and complete the work needed for law school.
