I know... it must feel like I have stopped writing here, but what has actually happened is I have been overwhelmed with the insane amount of reading that I have been assigned for this semester. It's nutty! It's good though... I feel like I'm learning a lot and it feels good. I feel like my understanding of not just the material, but life in general and even what I'm doing here is expanding in ways that I didn't realize. It's hard! But I'm getting there... I can't believe I am more than halfway through my first year at Berkeley. This summer I will start to study for the LSAT and less than a year from now I will be almost done. CRAZY!
I've been studying violence and trauma and it's hard. It makes every single thing that happens in real life seem more significant than it was before. It highlights the bad things in ways that I never acknowledged, but it also challenges me to really appreciate the good ones. And there are a lot of good things.
This experience continues to amaze me.
