I think that the last time I wrote to you was in elementary school; it was part of a school activity.  I never knew what to ask for because my family did not celebrate Christmas.  I knew that you were part of the Christmas crowd and I figured that I was not invited.  However, you still remembered me and I really appreciate that.  As things are crazy now, I figured I would take my chances and ask for three things that I would like this holiday season.

First, I REALLY want to finish my medical liability paper.  Because of bad weather, the class got an extension.  I am really struggling to get to the finish line.  The thing is that I would like to actually do well and not just pass.  The professor was terrific and I learned a lot from him.  I would like that to be reflected in the paper that I produce.  On a general level, I feel like this semester in law school is the one where I learned that it is possible I will become a good lawyer.  I found myself dreading getting a crappy grade because it meant that what I learned would not be reflected on my transcript.  Over the past two years, I have done a lot of feeling as though I do not fit in or wondering how the heck I am going to have a decent legal career.  Getting a few glimpses at the possibility of a fulfilling career is such a gift.  If you could deliver me a transcript that reflects that wish I would be so thankful.

Second, SNOW has hit Seattle fiercely.  This morning, I attempted to go the airport and after playing bumper cars on the street,  my ride returned me to my apartment.  Fortunately, my flight got changed twice with no penalty.  Currently, I am scheduled to leave on Saturday.  While I am nervous about being around my family, I would like to get home.  Plus, I have a trip planned to meet more of my future-in-laws in Ohio.  It would really help me make a good impression if I could actually get there safely.

Finally, I know that this sounds superficial, I would really like to see some concrete examples of the hard work I have been putting into getting in shape.   I feel like I have been working out hard and trying to eat better, but the weight and the inches are not coming off fast enough.  If you could somehow make it possible for people to spontaneously tell me that I look "REALLY good!" or make it so that I can fit into some clothes in my closet which have gotten tight, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you Santa.  I have enjoyed the chance to write to you again.

Yours,
