Happy 3 Month Anniversary

Today marks the three month anniversary of my residence in the District. Although I thought it was a silly topic to write about, my roommate (its our anniversary too) pointed out that today marks the three month completion of what practically feels like a new life. It's been...

• Three months of becoming a full time student; yes, I have always technically been one but now I actually feel like one. You can tell how exciting my daily life is when I look forward to finding pictures of judges in my Torts book because it means less text to read.
  
• Three months of dealing with adverse weather. Ok, the weather is not horrible but I'm definitely adjusting to rain on a weekly basis, as oppose to a day every other month.
  
• Three months of living away from everyone. Thank goodness for communication and a good roommate because otherwise I might get lonely. Not only is it odd living across the country from my family and most of my friends, but I realized that I no longer live around people my age in general like Westwood. I went from 4 roommates (and many adopted) to 1 (with an occassional squatter). Now it actually takes effort to go see people.
  
• Three months of dealing with some interesting personalities at law school. I'm sure that there were as many eccentric people at UCLA, but considering that 1) I see the same people everyday and 2) law students tend to be more extroverted, it seems like I pick up on people's quirks much more quickly.
  
• Three months of becoming a city girl. I don't think anyone really considers LA a city, and when you're car-lessly isolated in Westwood, you're really not in a Metropolitan area.
  
• Three months of counting down the three years. Let's be honest, as interesting and occassionally fun as law school is, everyone just wants to be done. No one wants to stay here like people hold onto college.
