school's out for... ever.

Today was my last day of school, forever. Of course I still have finals and the bar to look forward to, so I'm no where near "done." And to make things more fun, my school decides to start the spring semester later than other Texas schools, thus making the semester end later. Pretty much everyone takes a course to prepare us for the bar. While students from other schools have a week off between graduation and the prep course which I shall not name, we get a whopping 36 hours to relax before we're plunged right back into class. A day and a half. Did we really need a five-week winter break? Four would have been plenty.

But wait - there's more!! There's a supplemental prep course that focuses on a certain area of the bar that some people - including me - opt to take. That course is one week and runs concurrently with the first week of the normal prep course. So the week after finals and graduation, I will be in class for seven hours a day.

I know you're thinking. It's one of two things:

1. Dude, that sucks.
2. Stop your bitching. You did it to yourself, remember? You're the one that went to law school.

I respond:

1. No kidding. Tell me about it.
2. Go to hell. When I'm defending your sorry ass for copyright infringement you'll change your tune.*


*note: i spent all afternoon studying for finals. i'm feeling a little punchy. i need a beer.

Heather:

I'm going for the mental health approach - skip the 5 day and spend it on the beach in Puerto Rico, taking a much-needed break between a hellish semester and bar study hell. Then I'll take the 3 day, which I'm thinking will be all the bar prep class I'll want after the bar prep class that shall not be named. My other plan is to go to both morning & evening classes for the subjects I need extra learnin' fer, so I'm forced to review the material for an extra 3 hours.

I can't wait til August.

take me with you?
