I need to get better at updating this thing. So many people out there tell me they like reading but I don't update it enough, so here goes nothing!
About 2 months ago, I sent of $25 and a letter of recommendation to Duke University, at a great attempt to have them let me into their paralegal program. And, IT WORKED!
I'm now one of these thingers...
I'm finally enrolled in the program, waiting for a few loose ends to be ties up with books (which has been more of an issue than it should be!)and then I'm free to start and I will then, be taking on NINETY THREE lessons, 6 books, and 13 exams and a year to complete it. If I'm lucky enough to have the time, I plan to knock out 2 lessons a day, and that way I can be done in half the time.
After that is completed, goal is to get hired on at a law firm. In what field, I'm really unsure because of what emphasis I want to go into.
I'm debating on criminal law, because it's always fascinated me and been of strong interest...BUT! There are also people out there who assault, steal, kill, rape, touch children with no respect for them being innocent, or just do awful things, like kidnap etc. I think working for a lawyer who had graphic information on such things would keep me up at night. Maybe it would be less hard if it was for someone who specialized in narcotics? I've always wondered why people do drugs, and that would maybe cure that? I don't know. Or the one that's also a good field without the worry and fear of being up at night, is Real Estate law. Put sleazy fraud contractors in the hot seat seems kinda cool too, haha. Time will only tell, as well as how loaded my brain gets.
As far as the kids, school is in full run again after a week off. Leena NEVER has any homework because she does it in class,due to all her other school work being done....smart girl! She can be found jumping on the trampoline next door, or, our riding her bike, and in flip flops and shorts when it breaks 55 here, ha!
Landon is fighting a little bug, his illnesses are becoming more frequent, and concerning to this Mama Bear. I'm in the middle of getting a referral for him to go to Seattle Children's Hospital to get screened for liver damage, he has a few signs of it and I just want to either find out for sure, or rule it out once and for all. It breaks my heart seeing my baby turn yellow and get so sick, ALL THE TIME!
Upside is, he has preschool 2 days a week and totally loves it. His newest love is cat and the hat, and curious George...because we downgraded our cable, and that's what on. Kinda nice change, then again, I may resent saying that in a year because the shows are now driving me nuts. Off to get Leena!
