Beginning at an end

It's been a long time since I've done anything with this blog. Lately I've really been getting the urge to vent some thoughts on the world, so I've promised myself to start anew on the day of my law school graduation.

I now have two degrees. I'm not normally a fan of graduation ceremonies but this one was pretty good. I'm so overwhelmed by the enormity of what lies ahead of me, that I'm really at a loss for words. There are days when I do feel like I have more insight and perspective for things like this, so I'm not too worried that today isn't one of them. On days like this, I can only just focus on the one thing I must do next. And the next. And the next.

As much as I'd like to say "it's finally over" or that I'm "done with school forever", neither are really the case: directly ahead of me is nine weeks of vigorous bar exam preparation.Then I need to somehow find a job. Then I need to start my life.

Bar prep isn't "school", but really it is. It's being held at my law school. My classmates in bar prep will mostly be the same classmates I had at law school. I'll have to study all day. The tuition fees are outrageous. It's school.

I've flushed the old blog database and I'll be reusing it for all the new stuff. The layout will change shortly. Stay tuned for some social/politica/economic rants as they come to me. We'll see how this one goes.
