Although it is only almost noon today. In the last 36 hours or so I have hung out with friends, had a sweet goodbye with my boy which lasted the night, packed, cleaned the apartment, and left Fredericksburg officially for Winter Break.
You know I am glad to be on break. But it's said this shall be my last ever Winter Break. One year from now, I may possibly be holding a job somewhere in the world earning a living, and living somewhere by myself. It's sort of scary outlook. As of now, this break is going to be spent studying for GREs and possibly LSATs. And putting out cover letters, and resumes/CVs. And to balance all that and keep from staying at home, I am going to try and find some volunteer work with the less unfortunate. To help others for a month, I think is sometimes worth more than the money you could earn anywhere else.
ETA:
Just to clarify. Not going to grad school immediately after graduation. I am going to go look for work either with a nonprofit or with a environmental law firm before deciding on law school. 'Cause law school is expensive, and I want to be certain it's what I want to do before spending gobs of money on the education
