easter sunday

happy easter! i don't really celebrate easter, since i don't consider myself a christian, but its once of those nice things i do for the family. so, in the tradition of my love of blasphemic images, this is my favorite easter picture:



nothing says "easter" like a bunny trying to do a chicken.

hope the easter beagle brought you all something good.



am i the only one that thinks snoopy was on something?

ten days later

i'm still getting used to having the exam over with. i took a few days off, went back to work on wednesday. it's weird being back at work. after spending so much time studying over the past few months, i have this constant feeling that i'm supposed to be doing something. like tonight, i feel like i should be doing something besides laying on the couch reading a book. i feel like something's missing. don't get me wrong, i loooooove not having to study and i love this new free time i have, but it's a weird feeling. i've basically been in school for the past 24 years, with the exception of my year medical leave of absence. i feel like being a student is what has defined me for so long, that it's going to take some time getting used to NOT being a student anymore!

of course, i may be studying for the july bar again in just a few months. i don't think i did too well on the exam...having to handwrite on thursday disrupted my confidence a little. but, i'm fairly proud of how i handled the whole thing, so if i have to take it again, it will be alright. hopefully next time i won't be faced with quite so many challenges.

i sent my laptop off to be fixed last week. it's weird not having it - that thing has been my life for the past few months. i was good about backing up all of my school/bar exam materials, but unfortunately i was not good about backing up my pictures, and my laptop is where i stored most of my pictures. i'm pretty sad about that because i know i lost a lot of good pictures that were important to me. such is life.

i have, however, been enjoying slowly getting my life back. it's nice to be able to spend time with friends again. i had a visitor from out of town last week - it was fun to be able to spend time with him, something i wouldn't have been able to do if he was in town just a week earlier. i still need to read more news articles and magazines to have topics of conversation besides the bar, but at least it doesn't rule my life anymore. for now. :)

it's crazy to think what we law students put up with just to be a lawyer. i wonder how many of us really want to be lawyers, or if we just feel we owe it to ourselves to see this thing through after 3 years plus dealing with the bar plus hundreds of thousands of dollars. what could we possibly be BUT lawyers after all this shiz? being a lawyer better be awesome.
