I have one final left...non-profit organizations taxation. So tantalizing I know that is why I am doing this instead of studying.
I had a minor freak out several nights ago about whether I really want to be a lawyer or not. But I had the realization today that I do and I'm going forward on the right path.
A work colleague came into my office after interviewing a possible intern to take my position once I start studying for the bar and she asked, after speaking to to the candidate, how could she be in her second year of law school and not know what she wants to do.
A little voice in my head said "hey you are graduating from law school and you still don't know what you want to do." My colleague then commented that your gut always really knows what you are supposed to do and then I realized I actually disagreed with that little voice.
My gut has always told me what to do and other people surrounding me always decided to add their personal views as to how I should move forward in my career. I started out wanting to be in criminal law and I have always ended up going back to that initial instinct.
I may not be the millionaire lawyer that works 100 hour weeks, but that's ok. I'll go to work in a field of law that interests and excites me and be able to go home and eat dinner with my family and friends and actually have the kind of life that I want for myself.
It's like the Wizard of Oz, if i'm looking for who I should be it's already inside of me

Tin Woodsman: What have you learned, Dorothy?
Dorothy: ...it's that - if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?
