It's that time... to fulfill my resolution

I said after the Bar Exam I would write more...

So here I am... Tomorrow I start my next rotation with my new students. I am teaching nursing OB clinicals for the time being. I actually hope to get the full-time position (yes, I know... my husband thinks I am crazy too).

The way I see it... I can actually work full-time for the college while I learn how to practice law. I have never really wanted to work for a big law firm, putting in 80 hrs a week minimum, just to make billable hours. My husband, the pot-stirrer, thinks I am "wasting" my education on teaching at the college. But I am not. And we need income. Full-time employment income. And if my department coordinator is right... I won't have to work summers, holidays, and college breaks. And I really do enjoy what I am doing. It is nice seeing nursing from their eyes. So fresh, so new, and so eager to do what is right and not cut any corners. So, yes I have applied for a full-time instructor position.

I feel this will leave me time to "shadow" a lawyer and learn. God-willing I passed the Bar Exam... (yes, I said God...) I even went to see my Estate Planning Clinic Staff Attorney the other day... and she said "that sounds awesome, then you can take on pro bono work from the school, and have the school's resources to back you up!" I can only do that if I don't have to go find a "real job" that pays... (Not that teaching isn't a real job... it is. I mean a real lawyer type job!)

So, I know it's alot to ask, being that I just asked for all your well wishes to pass the Bar Exam... but one more time... I ask that you keep your fingers crossed that I get this full-time position... Then I promise to help as many "needy" people as I can while I am still in the learning phase (as I feel it is...)

Thank you all for being so very patient with me through the course of law school... It was long and tedious... But for now, we are done!!!
