State of the Blog: Halfway There

May 1, 2015

b0436954e53c6d0a8bfa9423184911ab

One year ago, I left D.C. to chase my dreams on the other side of the country.  I can’t believe that I’m halfway done with law school.  At least I will be after I spend seven out of the next 12 hours taking two constitutional law finals.  (Deep breaths.)

The blog will be back next week, and we’ll have two blissful school-free weeks to enjoy together.  Think Two Ways and Work Wednesdays posts, yay!

Good luck to my fellow finals-week warriors.  I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing weekend.  Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go clean green highlighter off of my fingernails.

    Hi Belle! Good luck with finals! I left professional fundraising last year to take on an advanced one-year law degree in Ireland and had Jurisprudence today after Property Law on Monday and Company Law on Wednesday! With another four exams left, I feel your pain! The pay-off will be worth it though!

    You go girl. It will be hell to go through it, but coming out the other side feels soooo good!

    Congrats! My brother graduated from UPenn last year and I remember each year how much pressure there was around finals time – not that there was a lack of it the rest of the year!

    Good luck!

    Good luck!

    I have to say, I am mildly entertained that this is the first post on your site to greet me in my first visit. I am a WDC attorney, referred here for style guidance by another attorney….and you’ve left DC to become a lawyer. 😉 Great luck to you!!

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
