Today is April 1 aka deposit deadline day for many law schools. I hinted this weekend that I've made a decision, but now I'm ready to let you all know where I'll be spending the next three years of my life...
I can't thank y'all enough for taking this journey with me. Reading all of my many posts and tweets about the LSAT, my concerns about where to in these recent weeks. I got so many encouraging emails, tweets and comments from y'all, and I honestly don't know that I could have kept my sanity without y'all.
Now this news is definitely bittersweet. I'm really terribly upset about leaving the district I've called home for the last three plus years, but this is the best fit for me. Plus don't you worry, I plan on returning to DC frequently to visit. I really can't believe that I'm leaving, but I'm going to make the most of the four months I have left here, and I hope you'll join me!
Also... I don't think I read any NOLA blogs. Do you write/read any blogs from down there? I'd love to make a few blog friends before I arrive this summer!

ReplyDeleteHi Emily! I saw your question on The Magnolia Pair about moving to New Orleans. I wanted to say as I'm a blogger who lives in New Orleans! Once you get here I'd be glad to meet you help you learn the ropes of a new city. Also, I see you're going to law school? Tulane or Loyola? I ask because my husband is starting night law school at Loyola in the fall. I'm excited for you, New Orleans is a great city!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I live in Baton Rouge but am always in New Orleans. If you ever have any questions I would be happy to help.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing. I thought you would enjoy this quote.
ReplyDeleteWhen asked to recommend one city in the U.S. where everyone must eat, Anthony Bourdain answered:
"In America, there might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans, but there is no place more uniquely wonderful. So I would say New Orleans. With the best restaurants in New York, you’ll find something similar to it in Paris or Copenhagen or Chicago. But there is no place like New Orleans. So it’s a must see city because there’s no explaining it, no describing it. You can’t compare it to anything. So, far and away New Orleans."
We'd have to agree! Full CNN article: http://ow.ly/k1f2k
Congrats!!! This time last year (literally this day last year haha) I was in NOLA. I didn't enjoy myself until right before we left and now I want to go back. My team is the Saints so I plan on visiting this fall :)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I'm so glad I did because I can't wait to hear about your adventures in NOLA! That was my home for the past 23 years! I promise you will love it!!
