05/21/2007: "Done"
Song of the Day: blissful silence
And just like that, after three years of agony, law school is over. Yesterday I walked across the stage and was celebrated for doing something really impressive. As for whether that's true, I'm content to let everyone else believe it, since I'm not entirely convinced myself (but maybe if I actually get a passing grade on my ass-kicking antitrust exam, I'll start to believe it a little). It was strange realizing that everyone who was visiting this weekend was here for me, since it was a huge treat on my end to get to spend time with everyone.
The last of my guests who were here to celebrate with me just left, and I'm faced with an apartment that looks like a tornado blew through. I've started mentally assigning categories to everything I look at - throw away, pack for storage, pack for immediate use upon reaching Ohio - but am far too exhausted to start doing anything about it. The fact that I am finishing off a bottle of wine at 2 in the afternoon might help describe my mental state.
People keep asking if I'm sad about leaving Chicago, and I definitely am, but at the same time, I feel like, "Okay, been here for three years, what's next?" I'm ready for a change of scenery, and although I have absolutely no idea where I will be come the end of the year, I'm looking forward to moving in with my dad for a few months and letting him feed me.
I'll end this on an awesome note - last week, my dear Amy and her boyfriend Jeff got engaged, and she, too, will be graduating in a few weeks with her Masters in Social Work.
