What just happened?


Well . . . I'm done.  I finished my last paper of my law school career today.  It is finished.  I thought that I would be really happy and giddy; I know my friend was.  I am just wasted and disillusioned though.  I'm hoping that in a couple days it will sink in that I'm finished and I will be able to feel the pleasure of accomplishment and completion.

Reasons for a dearth of blog posts.

For those of you who still have faith that I'm going to update my blog, all I can say is sorry.  I'll fill you in on why I haven't.  I haven't had time.  On the weekend before thanksgiving, we packed up all our staff out of our Moscow apartment and moved it to Emmett.  (side note: My grandma moved out of the doublewide next door to my parents, and into a retirement home.  My parents purchased the double wide home from her, so now we are going to stay there while I study for the bar and look for a job.)  We got it all moved down there and moved into the doublewide.  Then on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving I had to come back to the dreaded Moscow in order to work on things that needed done, like my final mock trial.  So I didn't even get to have Thanksgiving with my family.
Now I'm in Moscow still.  Classes have started back up.  This is the last week of classes.  Finals begin next week and I am in for the ride of my life.  Luckily one of my finals is this week.  My final mock trial.  So not all 18 credits are during finals.  Its still going to be difficult, but when its all over, I get to go home and never come back.  Yay!
After finals are over in 3 weeks.  I am going to drive down to California where my family will be waiting for me.  Then on December 29th, I begin studying for the bar examination.  The single most important test of my life.  If I pass it, I get my license to practice law and get to look for a job.  If I don't, I have to do it all over again.  So wish me luck!  I'm going to need it.
