It just occurred to me that that sentence is grammatically incorrect. Funny how such a saying has such widespread use despite its structure.
It is quite possible that I am sleep deprived.
I went looking at properties today. If I really suck it up, save my money, pack my lunches, make my dinners, and cut the fat (both literally and figuratively!), I might be able to swing a modest mortgage. I want my own space, my own place. I mean, for goodness sake! I'm nearly 28 (my birthday is next month...the gift list is available upon request), I'm a lawyer (which is still really freaking cool to say), and I'm currently making pretty good money. Oh yeah, and I really want my own space!
A friend of mine has her own apartment, but her mother moved in with her. She's about 8 years older than me, but she's going through the same frustrations. Hers are actually amplified because they are both in the same apartment 24/7. I have another friend (male friend) who also lives at home, though it doesn't seem to bother him at all. Maybe he just crushes up sedatives in his parents' beverages. Hmm. Something to think about. LOL
But seriously, it's cool to think about moving into a place of my own, having something that is really mine. We saw a 1.15 million dollar home today. My mom was saying how she could live on the first floor, I could live on the second, and the third floor could be my office. Um, that really wasn't the point of the excursion today. The young lawyer is the one who wants and needs her OWN place. And if we bought a house together, I'd be locked in until she died! Especially one that expensive.
But getting back to the heading. I desperately wanted to pass the bar and become an attorney. Now that I am one, I'm being hit with the harsh realities that attorneys can't find jobs. What am I supposed to do? I certainly can't afford an office, malpractice insurance, Lexis or West, electricity, etc. If I did that, there's no freaking way I could get my own place. So what am I supposed to do? Any suggestions are appreciated.
