Firstly, big thanks go to MPB and Pajama Grrl for taking over while studying for the Bar exam has me chained to my desk. Ya'll are rocking.

Secondly, I really wanted to sum up my three years in law school in a descriptive and complete post because so much has happened during this time, but it's not gonna happen. This is a slightly abbreviated version.

Thirdly, i had the week from hell last week. Not only was I in class for about eight hours per day, but my car decided to stop working on Monday night. I got out of class at 9:30 and it wouldn't start. I called my friend for a jump but no dice. The engine wouldn't even turn over. Turns out my battery was completely dead so I had a new one put in and all is well now. The Honda keeps on ticking.

In other news, I graduated from law school. I have a Juris Doctor, or Doctor of Jurisprudence, or JD, or whatever you feel like calling it.* I basically paid $95,000 over three years to be able to tell people, in response to their legal questions, "it depends." When I look back at all the things I've learned, all the amazing people I've met, and all the friendships I've made, I am infinitely thankful for the opportunity to have gone to law school, and I'm thankful I have such supportive parents and understanding friends who didn't get pissed off when I wished them happy birthday three months after the fact.

People ask why I went to law school. There are so many answers to that question. In the end, if I really think about it and put aside all the baloney about making a difference and doing something interesting with my life (which is actually true), the real reason I went to law school was to meet people.**

When I went to law school, my goal was to meet smart and interesting people who were fun. Law school gave me that. So thanks everyone, it was cool. I may be moving to Dallas, but this site will (hopefully) always be here, and you all know how to find me anyway, website or not.

Ok, end sappiness.

From here on out, my life will be dominated by the Bar. I will be the Bar's bitch for the next two months. And then come July 24-26, i will make the Bar my bitch. Such is the plan. I will try to drop in every now and then to tell you all about how exciting studying is. I could tell you now, but I'd rather save it up.

*With one big caveat: as long as i passed all my classes. Grades aren't in yet. Keep your fingers crossed.

** There was another reason which you should be able to figure out for yourself. It's actually included in the first reason.
