| this'll be quick because as you can see from my previous posts, i don't like getting too deep (and by my lack of posts, i get tired of writing about myself very fast).
i've been feeling a lot of pressure to find a job. i haven't graduated yet and i haven't passed the bar (God only knows when that will happen). still, i hear of people having jobs lined up and having their bar trips all paid for. some even have plans for finding at other places because the offers they got don't seem that appealing to them. i feel family pressure to go out and network. i can't help but compare myself to my peers and their ambition. so, why can't i at least take the small step of preparing a resume and doing a little research? i'm scared. yea, no big amazing reason. i'm scared of putting myself out there and pretending to be someone i'm not. i'm scared of thinking i can do things that i really can't, and then letting people down. i'm scared of working at something i don't like or don't believe in. even the causes i once thought i would champion now seem a bit pale.
anyway, i was looking through things to find some information i wanted to put on my resume. i found documents that said i was good at certain things; outlines and notes that reminded me i sucked at other things; diplomas and degrees; and then, my church membership certificate. and i thought, "this piece of paper has more to say about my life than all the others combined." i'm not my own, i was bought at a price. i need to honor God with what He has given me. well, here i go.

Weird picture, I know... but it was the last picture of me before I got Lasik surgery! That's right baby - no more vision-enhancing implements for me! woohoo!

| so... hmm. my last entry was super long ago. since then i've been back to mexico and attended several weddings. things are changing so fast i don't have time to keep up! i barely have time to reflect one what is going on, much less write intelligent commentary on my life's path. so, for now, a little update: i'm finishing up an internship at La Raza Centro Legal in San Francisco. it's been very interesting  i love working directly with clients and serving even in what seems so small and trivial. although i have learned a lot of the practical side of immigration law (filling out forms, fees charged, etc.) i have also learned that simple fluency in English and patience can make a huge difference in how people are treated and the services they receive.
i'm starting school again in a week and a half and i'm not exactly sure how i feel yet. in a way i'm looking forward to it, it's not as scary as before. but at the same time i'm worried about job searching and figuring out what to do after school. as always, prayers are essential and appreciated.
hopefully more to come soon (with pictures!)
