Goodbye, Sunglasses

When I was 15 1/2, I bought a pair of sunglasses to celebrate getting my learner's permit. My original goal was to have them last at least until I got my driver's license. I paid $9.99 for them. My dad said he thought I would lose them before my 16th birthday.

I loved those sunglasses. Not only did I manage to hang onto them well past my birthday, I managed to hang onto them into and past college. Those sunglasses have been sat on, stepped on, and left in the hot car to melt. They still survived and thrived. They've been to France, Israel, Canada, North Carolina, and Virginia. I wore them in an Air Force uniform, in missionary attire, and in normal clothing. Those sunglasses were a part of me.

Last week I went to put them on and the temple snapped clean off. There's no repairing them. It's time to move on and find a new pair. I hope I can find another pair as good and sturdy.

Feeling Overwhelmed

I haven't blogged in a while because I've been swamped. The nature of temp work is that it's either feast or famine, and I've been blessed with steady regular temp work for the last few weeks. This is in addition to the weekend job that I hold down to give me health insurance and tide me over during the dry spells. Oh, and I'm still in law school. Needless to say, I'm exhausted. The company I've been temping at is considering hiring me on full-time in the HR department. (Of course, if I had a dollar for every company that has told me that, I would be able to take you out to a nice dinner...)

So, I need to make some choices and changes, and what better way to base major life decisions than by taking a poll of anonymous internet people?

Update: We're going to do this low-tech because I couldn't get the polling software to work properly. If you want to vote, please leave your answer in the comments.

Trudy should...
a) Keep things the way they are. It's only for 2-3 more years, and who needs sleep anyway?
b) Stay in law school part-time and work full-time as Catbert's minion.
c) Switch to full-time law school and graduate with a mortgage sized student loan debt load.
d) Stay in law school part-time and work full-time as a Biglaw paralegal.
e) Forget law school and join the circus.
