Introduction

I've never written a blog before, I've never even been able to consistently keep a journal. I'm hoping typing as opposed to hand writing a journal and getting comments and feedback will keep me posting regularly.

A little about me...

I'm a 26 year old new attorney, I'm a year out of Law School and have been working as a Law clerk for the past 9 months to get experience in Patent Law. And now I've got my first real "grown up" job. I'm very excited about the job, the work is patent but not patent prosecution (patent filing) which can be BORING! The downfall is the job is not in the city I've lived in all my life. Its about 2 hours away in a suburb. So I'm leaving! I think it will be exciting to start fresh (difficult but exciting). Plus I need to get away, I was engaged and called off my August wedding in February. I know it was the best thing for me but its still hard. Tomorrow was supposed to be my wedding day actually. SO this is the best thing for me right now, escape the memories and broken dreams/promises. It will also be a growing experience for me, I'll be completely on my own.

I had out wedding date engraved in a key chain for him as a Christmas present, we were both so eagerly awaiting the day. His parents did not cooperate (ultra backward Indian parents UGH) and he chose his Mommy as opposed to me. Earlier this month thinking about it was more difficult. The week hasn't been as bad as I imagined, for 2 reasons.

1. He's in Ireland and just knowing he's out of the country helps a bit, because even if I am really angry/sad and want to contact him I can't.

2. More so I had a great Date Saturday night and we're going out again on Friday! I'm SO excited!

Out first date went well, we had dinner and then coffee at a cafe and then walked around for blocks just talking. I'm not sure what we're going to do tomorrow... The downfall is that I'm moving in a week but I'll be back on weekends. Bad Timing!

Well Tomorrow is my last day at this job so I better finish up some stuff.
