2007 was a rough year. No question. I should have realized the tone of the year when, New Year's Day 2007, my laptop crashed, destroying all my stored photos, a 60 page paper I was trying to get published, everything on my hard drive. Gone.
I started a new job to save money for the move to Vancouver and I felt ill-at-ease and overstressed the entire time.
I went to California over Memorial weekend for a-ahem-very memorable weekend.
Then, the move to Vancouver and the long wait (still waiting) for a visa for my husband. Classes began in September and that same week M. flew back to Tampa to work, as we were running low on money and still no visa. We thought, as all paperwork was in and we were on the "fast track" list, it would be just a few weeks before he could return. As I stated above, we are still waiting.
Further, M was offered a job in Vancouver and we applied for a work visa, being told that would take just a few weeks. Still waiting for that, too, and it could be months before we see either.
Last year has been a marathon of endurance. And still, there is more endurance to go until we get into a stable situation, on campus, with M working in Vancouver. Last year SUCKED. But I have hope for this year.
My goals for this year:
1) prepare well and do well on exams
2) find a summer job
3) get into an apartment on campus
4) get more involved with school associations, groups
That's it. Pretty simple. I am not making lofty goals for my private life (like the one year where my goal was to see a Broadway play) as I have very little life outside studying and school. But that's ok. This time next year (January 1, 2009) I will be half way finished with law school and have a much better idea of what's next.
