So, exactly 1 month from today I will turn 30. I am still looking forward to taking on my 30s - I think that, for the most part, they will be a good decade in my life. Hopefully I'll sort out my career related freak outs in time to enjoy building a career insted of worrying about building a career (a far less attractive option.) I was chatting with Nancy this morning and she offered some words of wisdom - try not to freak out about it until you have to. Which seem to be good words to live by. I know that I can realistically live on my savings and live well for 6 months, even up to 10 months if I pick up some other work like doing more research for Carl or slinging coffee at Starbucks...maybe both. So, I'm OK. I've got some time to figure this all out. Who knows? Maybe I'll be shot by the arrow of the cool jobs fairy and something choice will land in my lap fairly quickly. One never knows.
I registered for classes last night. I was sorely tempted to take easy-peasy slacker classes and have an easy semester, but I relented and took a bar class instead. I'm certain that I'll appreciate it in July when I at least have a handle on the vocabulary when I'm studying for the bar. The lucky winners are (drumroll please!):
1. Advanced dispute resolution
2. Income tax
3. Business Agency (and friends)
It's 10 credits. I am in class a good chunk of the day on Mondays (8:30 to 1:50), Wednesdays I have class from 8:30 to 10:20 in the morning and then this huuuuuuuuuuuge gap until I have class from 6:30 to 7:20 in the evening. Thursdays I have class from 6:30 to 8:20. That's it. No class Tuesdays, no class Fridays and most of my day is open on Thursday. I think that the strangest thing for me will be going to class during the day. My entire law school career I've gone at night. I'm totally a morning person, so it will be interesting to see what it's like having an 8:30 AM class when I'm at my best, instead of an 8:30 PM class when I'm at my worst. The other curious thing will be day students. Already a bit leery of that situation, but I'm cool. I'm cool I say.
I have decided one thing for my 30s. Starting to think of aging and how to keep going as long as I can, I am going to make my birthday resolutions (I think New Year's resolutions are so played, at least birthday resolutions are a gift to yourself and mean more). I'm going back to being a vegetarian and I'm going to get back to working out every day like I was doing before law school started and my life was stood on its head and shaken. These seem to be good, healthy goals that will help get me through the next decade hopefully in better health than the last decade. I'm on a mission to make my 30s better than my 20s.

Have fun with your 30s!
It is always so interesting to me that we are so different. You say you are totally a morning person-I am totally a night person.
But I agree with you that new year's resolutions are totally bunk. I make yearly goals, though, which I write down and check off as I complete them.
