well…after two months in law school, I made a big decision. I’m done. No, I didn’t take an express course to be a lawyer. I’m not going to be a lawyer. It’s not in my heart and soul. I forced myself to go to school every day and slog through the material. Nothing inspired me. And worse yet, for the first time in my life, I wasn’t even curious. I just didn’t care. It didn’t matter to me. The profs were great. It wasn’t them, it was me. I started getting physically ill from this. So I did a lot of thinking: why am I doing this, if I don’t want to be here, and I don’t want to be a lawyer. I am not collecting a JD degree and taking the bar to say I did it. That’s not me.
So I got honest and pulled the plug. I feel so relieved. Truly like a weight off of me. I am open to what life has in store for me. I have worked hard. I have my master’s degree. And that’s good enough for now.
I want to thank Wayne Law, my great professors, and the wonderful people I met there. I wish you nothing but the best.
And to my friends and family, your support means more than you will ever know. I do not take your love and belief in me lightly. It has kept my spirits going through these past few months.
If I can survive blowing my knee out, then law school, and making this decision, I can do anything!
(and my email door is open for writing/teaching/ you name it opportunities…hit me up! I am game!)
love and peace to all…. jcg
I am back in the real world. I have some projects I am working on, and I am excited about my future. I am a writer, editor, journalist and a teacher. There is a lot to be said for what makes me happy.
