New Digs

I'm taking another stab at blogging. Mostly because I would like to record more of my experiences and I just can't seem to journal consistently. This is a new blog, because I am doing a new thing and I hope to be a bit more anonymous here so I can speak freely about my experiences navigating this rocky terrain called graduate studies.

As a brief catch-up, I moved to Los Angeles from the midwest 7 years ago. I travelled the world for 4 years, I hit the sidewalks of Hollywood, headshot in hand for 2, and I just completed my first year of law school. I am still curious about how I got here.

Basically I was fed up with a "career" (using that term very loosely) that was all interview and no paycheck. The job interview/application process is so grueling, horrible, and demeaning, who wants to do that for a living? Millions of people in Hollywood apparently. So I got out, with my soul in stitches but still somewhat intact. Thought I'd go back to school. I like school.

I took the LSATs to see what would happen and two months later found myself enrolled in a strange universe called law school. I like school, the career...well, that remains to be seen. I've never really considered myself a suit-wearin' kind of girl. But here I am, suit in the closet, polished shoes and nylons ready to go. I start work for a federal judge in 10 days.

I have some new stories and some brewing thoughts, so I thought I would share them (even if only with my future self).
