Renewed!!! :) and it feels soooo good!

I just returned from the National Lawyers Guild Regional Convention and I absolutely la la la la la la LOVED it! :)

I think for the first time, I have found the perfect balance of activism and a legal degree! :)

When we came into school, they engrain is us that we SHOULDN'T get involved too much or do anything but eat, breathe, study, shit, law school! That's it! So i listened to them and decided to stick my heads in the books and just study. But as you know, I was miserable! I HATED IT! I felt out of place, out of balance, and out of love! :(

So, recently, I have 2 amazing professors who have been guiding me and I got involved with the National Lawyers Guild at School. I had heard about them last semester from Hans, aka the immigration GOD, BUT i ignored it because i was listening to the orientation "advice".

So I helped organize this conference (i played a minor role), but it was SO FUN and simply amazing! The attorneys who defended the Black panthers, PLyer v. Doe were there!!! It was amazing!!! They were all activists and they were ALL attorneys!!! Who would've thought???

i just feel so hyped!!! i feel that this is what i needed to go confidenlty into my finals, and its that extra push that I need to succeed. i can't describe how i felt today, i mean the attorneys didn't even have to talk today, and i was inspired! just being in their presence was phenomenal!!!

in conclusion.. its amazing, i feel like its all coming together and this is where i want to be. :)

Watch out world... :)
