Life of a 3L
Name: Raina Wagner
After an exciting career in home-design and A&E journalism, I decided that it would be great to go from a life in which I was paid to peruse beautiful homes and gardens and attend music and theater shows to one in which I might never have time to attend another concert or even clean my house! Just kidding - I do have time for plays and concerts...but definitely not housekeeping.

Outside of school, I enjoy exploring the gorgeous desert and mountains that surround Tucson. I also enjoy showing friends from the law school all of Tucson's great, locally-owned restaurants; this city has some of the best Mexican food around. I try to spend as much time as possible with local friends and family, as well as with my 3-year-old long-haired dachshund, Hazel.

When I'm not busy with schoolwork, I try to stay active - and with such amazing weather and so many beautiful desert and mountain trails, there are lots of opportunities for me. I try to go running and hiking regularly, and I coach a soccer team in town. It has really helped me stay sane these past few months to get involvd with the community and take advantage of what Tucson has to offer.
