3L craziness

It's hard to believe that the end is almost here. In about 4.5 weeks I am going to graduate from law school, and a little over two months after that I take the bar. Yesterday I received a very real reminder of both of these facts: at school I was issued my graduation cap, gown, stoles, graduation invitations, and event tickets; when I got home from school, there was a 36 lb box of bar study books waiting on my doorstep.

I also took my last law school class on Tuesday. Between now and graduation I have a few more deadlines to hit (finish paper, make sure law review publication goes smoothly, select articles for next year's publication, write a trust for Estate Planning), but each of these is well on its way. SO close.

The past three years really have flown by. I honestly feel like I just started school... more on this later, I'm off to lunch!

Happy Birthday!

Hello! Today I am in San Diego, technically at the tail-end of my Spring Break, though I am attending a conference for editors of Law Reviews (four-day conference). Yay for "breaks"! I am writing a paper draft that is due on Monday, while my incoming Law Review counterpart is attending a series of panel presentations on how to be awesome at her job. My job is to answer her questions and complete her "training", which I mostly have done. Very successful vacation/conference.

Other than that, I am six weeks away from graduating and seventeen weeks away from the bar exam, both of which are exciting but also scary. I am definitely looking forward to the next step - I do always enjoy a good challenge. The next hurdle is to secure a post-graduation job... I actually just finished a series of interview steps with a law firm that HOPEFULLY will be giving me a job offer in the very near future! I will update on that as it happens.

Most important, however, is the real purpose of this post. Besides a very-overdue update, I wanted to write to wish my Lolo a very happy birthday!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear Lolo...

Happy birthday to you!

I hope you have a great day, and I will try to do better (and more) blog updates for you in the coming weeks.

Lots of love,

K
