A Brief Update

This is just a short post to say I hope to be writing more soon. As many of you know, we are going to be traveling in Europe this summer as we study abroad in Berlin, Germany for a Global Seminar through our college, UC San Diego. As infrequently as I've posted in the recent past (or not-so-recent, be as it may) I hope to use this blog as a journal of sorts to keep myself organized, and others updated in a more thorough way than Facebook, as we gather information for plans, handle our last few quarters at UCSD, study for the LSAT, and so much more.

I hope you'll stop by and encourage us every now and then! As excited as we are, the next few months entail a lot of preparation and work before the payoff in Europe. There is the matter of my needing to study and take the LSAT ... this is perhaps the biggest thing standing between me (not so much Paul as he's not taking the LSAT!) and Europe at this point. We also both have to successfully pass all of our last few classes here. We have commencement in June. We have to figure out our travel itinerary, save a ton of money, buy tickets, figure out safe hostels, narrow down our list of places we would love to go (the image in the header and in this post is a grand list of nearly everywhere we would like to see and visit... but we will clearly need to narrow it down) ... the list is somewhat exhausting when I write it all down at once.

I'm also hoping to keep myself updated in this blog as a way to organize my thoughts and remind myself of the all-encompassing goal of a successful future. For months now, perhaps a year, I've been worried sick for what will come after graduation. I've worried we won't find jobs, and how we will survive, and where will we live? But for some reason, I feel the pieces are all beginning to fall in to place ...

But all of that is reserved for another post. For now, I just invite you to check back often for updates and details in our plans and goals as we move forward to what will be our most exciting summer yet!
