The All-Important Introduction Post

Hi, I'm Kelli! I have always wanted to start a blog because I like following them so much. So you, as my reader, get to embark on this journey with with me. It could be really awesome! At the very least, it will be entertaining and funny. (at least I hope!)

You should probably know a few things before you start reading about my life. Here is a list of things that I think you should know about me: 

1. I am FINALLY finishing law school in a week! I have been in a part-time law school program for the past 4 years and it is finally coming to a close. Graduation is in less than a week and I have never been so excited about putting on a shapeless gown and floppy hat to parade about in front of a lot of people that I don't really know. As fun and exciting as graduating will be, studying for the Bar Exam will be the exact opposite. I actually take the Bar Exam in less than 3 months, so I am about to take on a world of stress and craziness. 


2. I get overly excited about good food. I am talking about quality cuisine here. Of course I love a good Chipotle burrito bowl, but I am slightly obsessed with discovering new restaurants and trying all types of food. Luckily, my boyfriend and friends feel the same way. In fact, last year for Christmas, my boyfriend and I didn't even get each other an actual present. Instead we went to the best restaurant in Chicago (Alinea) as our Christmas present to each other. And it was FANTASTIC. 


3. I have a slight coffee addiction. It's not even that I'm addicted to caffeine; it's just that I LOVE good coffee. I drink it all day, every day. Tea is not quite good enough. The addiction recently hit a new level when I actually got a Keurig for my cubical at work so that I would not have to drink the office coffee anymore and I could enjoy quality coffee at the push of a button after I just rolled the 15 inches over to push that button. Best cube decorating decision EVER. 


4. I love to read. I started reading books in first grade and have never stopped. I try to only let a day or two go by without reading. I read a little bit of everything, but my favorite books are of the Stephen King genre. I know this isn't classic, quality fiction. I am well aware. However, it's what I like the most. I do read other books though and I have read a lot of classics. I just get really excited when Stephen King's new novel is coming out. You can judge me and I'm totally ok with it. 


5. I am in love with Disneyworld. Again, judge all you want. My family is the crazy family that has been way too much for our own good, but we seriously love it. Every time we go, it's a totally different vacation and we still get so excited about planning a new trip and flying into Orlando. So basically, you need to know this so that when I seem overly excited about something Disney related, it won't come as a surprise to you. 


I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it! I have always wanted to start this and as I was sitting down to type up my last law school final exam, I figured that would be the perfect time to procrastinate and type this inaugural blog instead!
