I completely finished with school on Friday, April 29, I moved back to Charleston (clothes and personal items at least) on Saturday, April 30, and I started work on Monday, May 2. I decided that I wanted to work full-time for the three weeks before my bar prep class started (this coming Tuesday), as Jason and I will be paying two rents for two months and I had no good excuse not to start work (and start earning my salary). It was a busy three weeks of work. I've been working really hard and working fairly long hours, but I just wanted to do the best that I could in the time that I worked. Honestly, I know that it makes me a nerd, but I have enjoyed the challenge.
On May 14, I received my fake law school diploma at my law school graduation. Check me out - I am Sarah A. Martin, Doctor of Jurisprudence.
Graduation was not all that I thought it would be. For whatever reason it just didn't seem like that big of a deal. Maybe it was because I was extremely hot the whole time, or maybe it was because I had already worked for two weeks so it just seemed a bit anti-climactic. Although, I did greatly enjoy my graduation gifts from my wonderful husband (a new watch and a bottle of my favorite gin!).
Oh yeah, I forgot the Four Loko :) Ha!
Either way, I was still proud of myself, and I am proud to be a graduate of the WVU College of Law. On Sunday, May 15, Jason and I moved almost all of our belongings out of the townhouse in Morgantown and into our apartment in Dunbar. Thankfully, my parents helped us move out of the townhouse, as well as my brother-in-law, Lonzo. We were also extremely fortunate to have some of our good friends help us move into the apartment on Sunday so that we weren't living out of boxes for the next month! Casey, Brandon, Enybe and Hetu - THANK YOU!
Here are some pictures of the apartment so far :)
Our room
Dining area - cheap furniture, but it will do until we buy our first house in 6 months (hopefully).
View from our room into the closet and hall, ha.
Kitchen and laundry area.
Our bedroom :) It is a bit sparse, but it will do for awhile.

This weekend, Jason and I drove to Harrisburg, PA, for the wedding of our friends, Tara and Martin. It was a beautiful wedding, and Tara looked gorgeous :) Martin didn't look too shabby either! I was so glad that they got one of the two nice days that I have seen in the past month. They deserve it.
Well, that is the cliff's notes version of my life for the past few weeks. My bar review course starts on Tuesday, so I am pretty much done working for awhile. The next 10 weeks of my life are going to be completely dedicated to studying for the bar exam. I am not looking forward to it at all, but it has to be done, and I just keep thinking about and looking forward to the day in August or September when I find out that I (hopefully) passed the bar. What a wonderful feeling that will be.
Well, that is all for now, folks! Until next time . . .
