SalomeJustitia

New direction.

So, it looks like I'm going to be needing a new title for my blog ...

After much soul-searching and discussion, I have made the decision to withdraw from law school and return to the working world - where, I'm not sure yet, but now is the time to move on.  I know!  I'm feeling a lot of things right now, but mostly excitement to start the next phase of my life.  In my heart, I have known for some time that I didn't actually want to be a lawyer.  But I have so many things I am passionate about, and now I need to figure out how to incorporate the things I truly love and am good at into my working life.  I knew that if I didn't go ahead and take this jump (with no safety net!) I would simply stay out of habit.  So big changes are afoot, and I'm sure I'll have plenty to say on the subject in the upcoming weeks.  As for now, my dancing is going to stay the same - maybe I'll even get to take a few more classes now that I have joined the ranks of the unemployed!

In the meantime, how about nominations for new blog titles?  I think I'd like to keep the Salome, but maybe incorporate a ballroom element.  SalomeSamba, in a nod to Tonya?  Or something with a Shimmy in it?  That covers bellydance and Latin - hmm, I like that a lot, maybe I'll run with that.  Who has ideas?

Coke-head.

So ... a part of my resolutions for the new year was to eat healthier, and I knew that would include cutting out soda all together.  I'm an all-or-nothing person, so I can't be a "social Coke drinker" like some people I know.  This is so hard!  I've been a Coke-head for years, ever since my starving ballerina phase, when we would all toss back the calories from regular, sugary Coke to keep us going.  An unhealthy start and an unhealthy habit, but a habit nonetheless.  But 95 hours down, the rest of my life to go!  Those cravings will stop eventually, right ... RIGHT??
