The Zero Hour: 0L Summer

My previous blog was seemingly "abandoned" about five months ago, so this new blog serves as the starting point for a new part of my life: law school. The grueling 20-hour days await. However, until then, I will spend my post-undergraduate 0L summer in Ulsan, South Korea, where I am volunteering to teach ESL to Korean schoolchildren.

So far, I have been in Korea for three and a half days, and I am definitely enjoying the absence of daunting mountains of stress and coursework. My hard work paid off the last four years, with me graduating summa cum laude with departmental and university honors from Drake University, but this summer serves as a "de-stressor" in preparation for law school at St. Louis University this fall.

For the next eight weeks, I am living with my boyfriend, Derrick, who is currently in his ninth month of a year-long contract to teach ESL in Ulsan. With some fun weekend holidays planned, I am prepared to enjoy my summer for the first time since I was 10.
