29 tomorrow
I am trying to get back into school mode. This is my 4th week. The 1st week was just introductions, 2nd week had Labor Day, 3rd week had Rosh Hoshana. This the 1st weekend I have had to read both days for several hours. I hope I am ahead of where we get up to in class. Other than that, school is going well.
Work has been slow which is a good and a bad thing. I hate having extra time and having to look for work to do. It's so easy just to wander around or sit and stare.
Sean and I are okay. I stressed him out by talking about buying a house some time after graduation. I had said that I wanted to move out some time between May 2008 and November 2008. I am beginning to realize that it will be more important to get out of my house rather than get a house. If it comes down to waiting a few extra months to save up a realistic amount, then I can wait. I am accepting the fact that renting an apartment may be the way to go if Sean is not ready to move out. I am pretty sure between the both of us, that we can have a 20% down payment on a house. Sean is absolutely convinced that we will have to spend $4k a month to own a house not including living expenses. I am thinking more like $2500. I guess we have to see. It's hard because I am starting to doubt that there will be a job opening at my firm when I pass the bar. That will mean I will have to find a job and will most definitely make less money than I make now. Friends who graduated are not getting good offers at all. Scary. If I have to leave my job, I worry that I will have to wait a long time before I will be able to take out a mortgage. I AM THINKING TOO MUCH! All of this thinking makes my head (and Sean's head) spin.
Saving. I been trying to consciously save $. Although, I have been going out to dinner alot. I have been bringing my lunch to work everyday though. I only have 1 more tuition payment in January and then to pay for the bar review which should coust $2500. My tax refund will cover that. I have to remember that I have to take a leave of absense next summer and will have no income.
God I am thinking entirely too much. Poor Sean. I am driving him mental. He hasn't been sleeping at all. I think he is averaging less than 5 hours and it's a restless sleep. I left him a message earlier asking if he was feeling okay but haven't heard back. I am going to do what I am supposed to do and wait until he calls me rather than continue to drive him crazy. It's not like I have anything important to say.
