It has been 150 days since my last update but things have been going really well since. I have continued on my maintenance chemo which consists of two pills a day, 14 pills every Wednesday, one infusion through an arm stick a month, and five days of steroids each month. This lasts for two years (so ~1.5 years left). It sounds like a lot, but compared to the number of drugs I was on this time last year, it is something that I am definitely willing to deal with. There have been very few side effects, which has been a relief.
I finished up school about a month ago and received my grades this week. I was worried that after essentially taking a year off from law school and being loaded down with some pretty intense drugs that my grades this semester would suffer. Fortunately, that was not the case as I did extremely well; better than my first semester, in fact. I put a lot of the credit on both my 2L friends who provided me with a lot of resources from last year and my 1L friends in my study groups who kept us chugging along.
As many of you know, my nuptials to Laura Beth are two weeks away! We are extremely excited, though very busy trying to polish out the last few details. The last 5% of the wedding planning is the hardest part, I would have to say, as it is so detailed oriented. We are getting married at Lake Toxaway, NC on June 20th and then heading to a tiny island off the coast of Belize. When I tell people that you stay in little cabanas open to the sea breezes, they either recoil in horror at the thought of only staying cool via fans, or their eyes glow imagining the tropical nature of the island. LB and I think about the latter. (and after sending almost an entire year trying to stay as sterile as possible while my counts were low, it will be nice to get a little muddy on vacation.)
In terms of what I am doing this summer, unfortunately, two opportunities fell through at the last minute, which has left me recently without a summer job. This is where I put in my plug (it is my blog, anyways): if you know of any full or part-time job opportunities that have a legal slant, would you please let me know? Right now, getting some good work experience is much more important to me than getting a pay check, so I would be willing to work for free.
I will post again in about 3 weeks after the wedding and honeymoon and put some photos up as well!
Take care!
