Changes and Choices

So many things have happened in the past month and a half, I think I'll just make a list. In no particular order:

1. I passed the Michigan bar exam.
2. I found a legal job.
3. I moved back to Wisconsin for said job.
4. My cat survived the eight hour trip back to Wisconsin.
5. I bought a new car.
6. I started my new job and already wrote two briefs.
7. My grandma died.
8. I turned twenty-six.

It makes me realize how quickly things can change, and how much our choices influence change. I made the choice to take a job that took me away from my family. At the same time, some things happened that I didn't have any control over. Change happens, and we just have to adapt.

So, I'm in a new place where I don't know anyone. It's been good so far, but it's quite a change from living at home all summer. So far, I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. I guess I've learned to stop trying to plan everything so far in advance.
