Well, after more than three years, I return to what originated as a travel blog for my study abroad adventures. Writing is cathartic. Since my last post-college musings on this site, I have graduated from law school and passed the bar. I have dealt with a number of serious medical conditions. I have fallen in love. I have discovered a love of cats. I have spent far too much money on nail polish. And what feels worth mentioning? The only constant in my life is an ability to laugh at myself. Life would be horrible if I couldn't do that.
I could look at myself, a semi-employed 26-year-old who is living with her parents in suburban Chicago, and be embarrassed. Instead, I am grateful that I am living with my parents while I recuperate from major knee surgeries. And I poke fun of myself for living at home whenever possible.
Yes, after a three-year stay in Ann Arbor, I am back. It's funny because five years ago you couldn't have paid me to move to Chicago. Now, I am trying to figure out how I can stay here long term. I guess I needed some time away to realize just how wonderful the Chicago area is. And how nice it would be to be close to family after all. Isn't it funny?
