Well, I've finally been pushed on the blog train and haven't yet decided the purpose of it. I suspect it'll eventually form a concoction of random thoughts and opinions that will probably have no conclusion and likely won't make sense to anyone but myself. Words are words, though.

I am leaving for costa-rica-with-the-family-"part deux" in 3 days and have to move out of my apartment by then so this will probably start slow. But I have to admit - although I've been horrible about keeping a journal in the past (except in those those tragic and somewhat embarrassing times of the inevitable teenage melodrama), I really am somewhat excited to get all the jumbled nonsense in my brain out of my head and onto something. Hopefully I will have/make time during the semester.

I did just get home from California - another family trip, but with the purpose of visiting law schools and colleges for myself and my little sister. The trip was surprisingly excellent, considering the amount of time spent in a tiny car and tiny hotel rooms for two weeks - and is probably worthy of its own entry. All in due time... hopefully...

But "for now," I am exhausted and happy to be home for a few days.
