There are so many song lyrics that capture my feelings right now. I retitled this blog post at least three times, probably more like five. Shhh, don't judge! I really should be studying for my final on Friday, but I kinda felt the need to sit down and write a short update. I've been hanging out with one of my law school friends a lot recently, a simply amazing and selfless individual - the kind you never expect to find in a law school, let alone in a profession like this. She has probably been the most supportive person during this journey and was actually one of the first people to find out about it. Unlike many others, she doesn't get jealous and doesn't even sigh when I probably talk a bit too much about my diet and my weightloss. Our friendship has become one of those in which we would both do almost anything for the other. It truly is a beautiful thing. Tonight presented us with a new opportunity in our friendship - I actually got to be supportive for her. I introduced her to my favorite therapy - being at the ARC (U of I's nicer gym). Although the cute boys must have been at home studying, it was therapeutic nonetheless, helping both my friend and I get our minds off of the stress of finals, among other things.
After she left, I kicked it into the highest gear I could find and ended up running three one-mile intervals. I haven't run that far at one time since October and definitely not as quickly as I did tonight. I simply feel fantastic, and I have to give thanks to my friend for putting me in the right mindset to do that.
For all of my law school friends reading this, I'm going to keep it short so y'all can get back to the plague that is studying. Wishing everyone the best of luck during the marathon that is law school finals season. We've got this! "Greatness is what we're on the brink of."
Oh, and I'm officially down 22.8lbs, in case anyone is keeping tabs. :)
Besito,
A
