My Mother always taught me to never keep a diary. "Darlin', you just never know who is going to read what." Even in Harry Potter, the hero accidently "falls in" to someone else's memories. But I have reached a point where it would be an extreme comfort to have my thoughts someplace else. But what are these thoughts for which I require a pensive? Well...
Today ends my first week at law school. And quite honestly, I'm disappointed. I am surely hoping that it becomes more challenging. That is not to say that it is easy. There is a very high physical toll of adhering to a regimen one is not used to. Actually forcing myself to sit and read after having done nothing but that for the past 5 hours is tiresome. It is the content that is not as challenging as I was led to believe. However, it has only been week 1. I still have the weeks ahead to be completely overwhelmed...hopefully.
I am also just recently engaged!! To the most wonderful man I've ever met. I'm fully convinced he is going to live up to all my girlhood dreams of Prince Charming...or better yet Dirk Pitt. ;)
He asked me to marry him on a lakeshore we frequent. After taking me to a very romantic dinner, we sat on lounge chairs at the water's edge. Watching the lights from the shore twinkle with the stars. After we had sat for some time he turned to me and asked how I had liked dinner. After assuring him that it had been wonderful, he replied, "That's good because I've put a lot of thought into tonight. About how I would get down on one knee (he kneels in the sand in front of me), about how I would show you this ring (he retrieves the exquisite beauty from his poccket), and about how I would ask you to spend the rest of your life with me. " Crying, I was able to say yes before reaching to kiss this perfect man!!!
Although my Mother is right and "you just never know who is going to read what" I need a place to store my thoughts. However, I hope I am intelligent enough not post anything on the web that I would not otherwise be willing to share in the first place. For that reason, I believe even though this is public it is much safer than a diary. So you see, I don't care whether anyone reads this. This blog is for me. It is my log of my adventures for the next year, through what will be one of the most wonderfully turbulent times of my life! And so begins day 1 of the Pink Puddle Jumper Log!!!
