WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU M'AM
i will never forget this last year in law school. today, i found out the 'why', and... post-shock, it all makes sense. the unhappy solution, the one which i've spent a good part of this holidays steeling myself for, is so clearly the only way that right now i don't even feel sad or afraid of it. it simply must be done.
as for this change in me, i have only the most childish answer to it. i only hope that when i re-emerge, i will no longer feel the need to neglect my friends, and i can pick up where i left off with some people that i'd hoped would be a bigger part of my summer.
