Westward ho!

I lucked out I think. After deciding that it was imperative that I move to NYC a couple of years ago, I snagged a grand job at a socially responsible investment company in SoHo and more or less jumped on the environmental bandwagon. I have always had a knack for all things environmentally friendly and sustainable but this move really opened my eyes to how I want to live my life and have a career that creates positive change in the world.

So... now I head as far west as you can go in the continental US and am making the move to Eugene, OR. I am starting law school and hope to gain the insight and knowledge to become an environmental policy maker. Oh yes, movers and shakers watch out now. Of course, first things first, SCHOOL. I got my packet in the mail this weekend and am all excited about orientation and classes. I am nervous about going back after 5 years out of school but I am excited to be going back for this. For whatever reason I am so done with finance... possibly the upheaval in the industry over the past 18 months???

I am packing up and preparing to move to the epi-center of hippies but bringing my shoe collection with me. The trick is you can still be environmentally engaged without being smug.
