This time of year has always been a somewhat strange one. It is of course a season of holidays and celebrations, what with Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. Last year, Reid and I added another layer of celebration by getting married on January 18, and of course, Valentine's Day is nipping at the heels of our anniversary as well. It is a time of happiness, satisfaction, and celebration.
For a few years now, this time of year also marks application time for me. I have known since my last year in college that I wanted to go to law school, but for some reason that goal has always seemed completely unattainable. Not because of inability; I've been accepted twice now. The fact is that law school is a huge decision, not to mention a massive financial commitment. In the past, it's been simpler to say that I'll take this on. It should be easier now with the support system that I have, but if anything, I'm finding it more difficult.
Reid supports me no matter what, and for that I'm incredibly grateful. My concern though, is that I'm putting an incredibly amount of responsibility on his shoulders, not just with the required commitment of time (three years) in one location that may not be great, but also the financial responsibility for our household. Add to that the incredible amount of debt we will be in afterward...it just seems overwhelming.
I'm thankful that I have an incredible husband who loves me and supports me in anything I want to do. I know that I'm amazing lucky to have him in my life, and I only hope that I can succeed at this next endeavor (provided I make it in, of course).
