Resolutions, as I've mentioned before (but am too lazy to link to), are not really my thing. I sort of think that self-improvement is something that we should all constantly strive for. Shouldn't we always have goals? Instead, I prefer to reflect a bit on what the last year was like for me.
In the last post I did, reviewing 2005 (OK, I'm not that lazy after all) I noted that 2005 was hellish for quite a lot of people I know. I note that hurricane Katrina was that year. This year, I'm happy to say, things seemed to be different for my friends and family. While it wasn't all roses all the time, things were better.
My life, however, was absolutely crazy. Not necessarily bad, but extraordinarily filled. A brief recap:
- Tail end of 2006: Started a new romantic relationship.
- February 2007: Ended new romantic relationship (not my choice, but what can you do?)
- May 2007: Graduated law school
- June 2007: Started new job clerking for state Supreme Court
- June -- July 2007: Worked full-time, studied for the bar exam, looked for a house to buy
- July 25-26, 2007: Sat for the bar exam
- July 30, 2007: Closed on my new house
- September 4, 2007: Discovered I passed the bar exam
- November 2, 2007: Admitted to practice law in Wyoming
I'd say that'll do.
This year, I'm looking forward to exploring my job and continually learning about the law. I may be looking for a job, to begin when I finish my current clerkship, unless the justice and I agree that I stay on longer. That's uncertain at this point. I'd also like to blog a bit more frequently, and preferably about more interesting things than I currently do. That's a bit harder considering I'm not an anonymous blogger, but I'll see what I can do.
But first, I think I'll start to run again. I miss it.
