It's been quite the week. I got my ring, and have sufficiently bonded to the *bling* to the point that I feel awkward without it. I guess I will be wearing it for a long time, so getting used to it would be a good idea.
The week has been great! I have been inundated with congratulations and blasphemous exclamations courtesy of Erica (talking of the ring)!
The combination of engagement and 3rd year of law school has fostered a situation where I have the time and ability to actually have real conversations with many people who I have neglected as of late. And I don't have that nagging sense that every minute without a text book is a minute wasted.
I think one of the most difficult parts of law school is that it segregates you from the rest of society for a while. Inevitably, you find yourself cut off from family, friends and traditional social networks because school just takes up that much time. Law school buddies are welcome (but temporary) fill-ins, and there comes a point in 3rd year that you realize that life continued on as it always had in the world, and it is time to get ready to merge back into the fray.
I will miss law school dreadfully. Getting to that very nostalgic point. My life is set to dramatically change... no. lets make that present tense - My life is changing fast, currently, right now. Law school will be one of those experiences that I will not be able to adequately describe to many, if any, people who haven't already experienced it themselves. Despite this, these past 3 years will make their way to the hall of fame of my life, taking the prize for the best, worst, and most challenging.
Enough nostalgia. Apparently I am still in law school, and I have two papers, and four exams. Finally, taking in the general workload of a semester doesn't strike fear, or make me hyperventilate.
53 days left.
