I am Terri, I am 49 years old, getting double bachelors degrees in Sociology/Criminology and Psychology. Yes, I know those two disciplines are very strange bedfellows but there is a method to my madness. I want to be a judge someday, and before that a prosecuting attorney. Since I have been on the wrong side of the Criminal Justice System and rehabilitated in spite of it, I want to be able to make some changes to it. I think with that kind of degree I will be able to make sentencing arrangements with offenders that will not only benefit society but will hopefully help the offender to want to reform.
The last two months of my life have been INSANE, yet somehow I managed to hang on, thanks to some amazing friends. On April 1 I left my husband of 16 years and was divorced 20 days later. I graduated from Flathead Valley Community College on May 13 and on May 20 moved to Missoula and the dorms at the University of Montana. WOW I get tired just reading that.
But I am now settled in my dorm and have finished my first week of summer classes. Check back for an update on how that went.
This is a compilation of my thoughts and adventures as I learn how to live not only by myself for the first time in 31 years but also as a college student living in a dorm. I am also in recovery with 9+ years clean from a bad meth addiction that got me in serious legal trouble. I am now as I already mentioned going to school so I can go to law school and be a prosecuting attorney. But more about that in the blog.
FYI
For those of you not in recovery just a heads up F.I.N.E. is a most amazing acronym. It stands for fucked up, insecure, neurotic, and emotional. A state I have found myself in a time or two.
I look forward to your daily posties you know. :) ( yes I will stalk you ) Looks fantastic!! :)
