I'm surprised by how little I learn, how little I change, year after year. I'm definitely getting older. I'm not 'searching for the right brand of wrinkle cream' old, but the kind of 'you're old enough to know better' old. However, it never occurred to me that I'd be the same person I was when I was 12 by the time I reached my freaking-twenties. My freakin' early to mid twenties, that is!
The whole university/law student thing has completely lost its appeal. Frankly, I'm not sure how much appeal it held in the first place. And it's not like I assumed it would be easy. I thought it would be hard. It needs to be hard if it is to be worth anything. I just thought that it was leading towards something. Namely, employment. Turns out, that was a complete pipe dream. The worst thing about being a law student is being surrounded by law students. Hearing them talk about all their job 'opportunities'. It's a great way to confirm one's darkest suspicions that they are the only one who is finishing their second degree and applying for jobs at Target. I could have saved time and money if I'd just started there right after I finished school. Damn, I've probably jinxed my shot at getting that job at Target now.
