So Long, Farewell
Now that I'm done with law school, I guess I really am a lawyer. It is, indeed, a hard thought to wrap my head around. Rarely have three years gone so fast.

Graduation, which fell on Memorial Day, was just beautiful. It was, at the same time, the most difficult day since I've become motherless. She wanted to live long enough to see me graduate so desperately that we almost went up for commencement a year early, in case she didn't live to attend my own. I regret I didn't push for that trip.
But life, it seems, goes on.
I learned a lot in law school. But I learned even more from my mother. One of her lessons was to "think of the good times." So, I think of her a lot.
With this one by my side now, I know there are still plenty of good times to come.
Thanks for caring enough to check in on me from time to time.

Fiesta Time
Supervised Analytic Writing
October 17, 2007 - May 5, 2008
It began with this simple statement. It began again with this dejected statement. And it ends here. Today is the first day of my post-law school thesis life.

Home Sweet Home?
If the coop board passes Girlfriend and me this week, my childhood home will cease serving as my permanent mailing address. Cornwallis Road had a nice run, but its in with the new. After growing up in the city's shadow, we finally drop the 'bridge and tunnel' label.

Anyway, this place comes totally furnished, the rent includes utilities, and the building is steps away from Gramercy Park.
Moving on up, hopefully, the first of June.
