Welcome! My name is Amy!

Since there are two of us using this blog I thought I would first tell you about myself. I am a 2L at Capital Law School and in my third semester of the MBA program at Capital University! I love the balance between both programs and have met some really amazing people! I come from Miami University where I graduated in Business Economics in 2009 and spent my entire time there as a member of Phi Mu Fraternity. I love Miami and miss the food like crazy (Bagel and Deli in particular). Before that I went to UAB (Alabama Birmingham) for one semester (well 1/2 a semester) and played volleyball. I grew up in Cincinnati and LOVE the Reds!

Currently, I am working here in admissions, coaching a U14 volleyball team with one of my high school best friends, attending MBA and JD classes, and working as a Kaplan and MBA program rep.  I love everything I am involved with so it makes it easy to balance. I am very close with my family. I have grandparents here in Columbus as well as a sister, a few cousins, and an Aunt. I have more cousins, aunts, uncles, and second cousins then I care to count and my other sister is currently at Miami. My parents are still in Cincinnati so I go home for some Larosas, Skyline, and Montgomery Inn every so often.

I just got back (10 days ago) from a winter break study abroad program in Curacao. Needless to say I would much rather be back on a beach right now then sitting in 30 degree weather. It was an amazing trip and to anyone considering study abroad I say DO IT!! I met great people and came home with a network of future attorneys across the country. Besides the academic reasons it was a blast. I went to class in the morning, came back to the resort (yes, this program put us up in a Marriott resort) and laid out or played sand volleyball (all with law books close by) then showered and went into the city with friends to eat dinner on the water and see the night life offered by this Dutch Island. It was beautiful and the experience does not compare to anything I have ever done before. We all went cliff diving, ATVing, deep sea fishing, shopping, toured the court house, met judges and prosecutors, swam at one of the top 10 beaches in the world, saw an ostrich farm (yes I ate ostrich and it was delicious), and basically toured a beautiful island for 3 weeks while earning 4 law credits.

 ^This is a picture of the cliff I jumped off of (it is 4 stories up and my friend Mike walked right into the pic)

 ^this is the group that went ATVing and this pic was at a stop along the trip where we hiked into a bat cave (literally FILLED with bats) to get a view of the undeveloped north shore from a cliff


So there is some info about me! I will be back to write more soon and my co-blogger Kwesi will be writing on here too! Till then I am off to Charleston to help my sorority sister with wedding plans!
