Ok, so I haven't been the best at this blog thing! I was reading my cousin Sarah's blog (she is hilarious by the way- no pressure cuz) and was inspired to write again...and more consistently.
So alot has happened in the last two months. In searching for jobs and meeting with career services, I got an idea about mid november to transfer law schools for my last semester in order to take some classes only offered in DC and to try to go ahead and get plugged in here since I would love to stay and work in DC after graduation. The idea turned into a reality and now John Mark and I are here! The Lord really has blessed us in that so many things had to fall into place so quickly. I am finishing up school at George Washington University Law School. So far, it has been an interesting transition. At first, I felt like a total freshman- not knowing where my classes were, where the bathrooms were located or how to get onto the internet. Yet, the biggest adjustment was walking into class and not knowing a single person. In the past month, things have gotten better- I chat with the people I sit next to and have gotten up the courage to ask where the ATM is located.
As for living, we are in Ballston, a neighborhood in Arlington, VA. It's on the orange line metro and our building is only two blocks away. I take the metro to school (11 minutes to be exact) and John Mark has his car for work. My car staying in Florida with a good friend who promises to drive it to the post office every week (she likes to pretend she's old). Honestly, the adjustment to one car has not been bad at all, however, I realized the other day I have not driven in a month since it's John Mark's car and he dives it. I'm really hoping that driving isn't one of those things you forget...that it's just like riding a bike.
Well hopefully this blog will be about life in a fun new big city. John Mark and I have goal to try to be tourists at least weekly and report about it. Considering I am still absolutely mesmerized any time we drive into DC proper, there should be lots to see and write about. That's it for now. Check back to see my our not so deep thoughts on life in DC soon.
