there is hope

this week just flat out sucks... and my spirits were pretty low yesterday (as you can tell by the previous post). But, I'm trying to set aside all those negative feelings and move forward looking at the bright side*
*this will all be over in less than 20 days and then I'm going to DISNEYLAND.
Last night I got this awesome package in the mail -- it brightened my day and made me realize that I can make it; I just need to stay focused.

It was a bar-study "care package" from my great colleagues and mentors who hired me last summer as an intern in the AG's office. I'm forever grateful (these two people in particular are fun, caring, and have helped me in so many ways -- including recommendations that landed me my new job. They're also really good examples of the kind of lawyer I want to be). The care-kit included:
  • the cute little bear above (he went on a ride with me in my new car last night to my grandma's house)
  • Office supplies, much needed index cards, sharpies, pencils, highlighter, legal pad
  • Inspirational quotes and motivational posters
  • snack & goodies: popcorn, red bull, coffee beans, fruit snacks, crackers, cookies, cup o' noodles, and more (like Jolt-Caffeinated gum, I'm scared to try it).
