Less than 24 Hours To Go

And law school will be finished. No more teachers, but a hell of a lot of books. Over two feet in fact. And while I look forward to having a law degree, I am more eager to dive into the next phases of my life as they head down the road.

We close on the house in just over two weeks. We are trying to get a head start on packing, but so far it's going somewhat slow thanks to my schedule of exams and soccer stuff happening. Hopefully that'll be taken care of this week. On a happier note, we have some pieces for the house arriving this week in the form of bookshelves, bathroom accessories, and a heavy duty waffle maker. (I know, it's exciting stuff).

Before all that I have one more. Tomorrow afternoon - beginning at 2:15 - I will sit for my last law school exam. Ever. I don't think I've blown the doors off any of my previous three exams, but I've done well enough (I hope). My goal has shifted away from excelling and improving my class rank and GPA to just getting out and moving on. Perhaps that's a sad commentary, and it is certainly not something I'm overly proud of. But, it's the truth. I'm burned out on school and ready for a new challenge. Three years ago I was energized and ready to burn law school to the tune of grand dreams and life in the fast lane. It's kind of funny to think about when I look back on it. I'm a different person. Hopefully a bit better for the experience (not to mention the mountain of tuition). Regardless, life turns another page tomorrow. I wonder where it'll take us.
