New Beginnings

Well, I started my last year of school yesterday. I guess that is good. It seems a little surreal to tell you the truth. There is a weird mix of excitement and a little bit of apprehension. A year from now I will have taken the Bar (assuming I graduate, and all indications seem to say I will, May 15th by the way, mark it on your calendar), and will be trying to start a new job. My future will be my present. I think it is only normal to feel a little off when you are contemplating things that you have not had to think about before. I also think that I am a little tired so once my normal schedule is back I am sure that I will feel more like my usual self.

In other news, I am really excited about my classes. I am taking some practical classes, a writing class on wrongful convictions, professional responsibility, legislative process, and complex litigation. A little boring but should be good. Things are gonna be pretty lively on the home front as well. I am taking a little trip up into the mountains over Labor Day with a YSA group, and there are a lot more fun things planned, but I need to make sure I don't slack off in my school work. One thing about finishing up school, it is really great to think that I am almost done with classes, and I learned a lot this summer and improved my resume quite a bit.

In the end, I am really excited to graduate, and even more excited to practice, just a little more work. Oh well.

And don't worry, I finished the summer strong.
