I woke up this morning thinking that today was going to be a continuation of Sunday night and a bad mood. This feeling was furthered by discovering that my pearl had separated from my earring post for the second time this year.
Then, the day made a 180 degree turn for the better. I had my first hearing for a client today, and, despite a few surprise questions/instructions from the judge, it went really well. I was really excited to be in court doing real lawyer things, especially given the alternative of filling in scantrons for bar study or watching another three hour lecture. After the hearing, I had a nice drive back to Champaign with my supervising attorney, who always seems to add a little sparkle to my day, and then we went to lunch with some visitors from the Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI).
The rest of the day seemed to go by really quickly. I left the office a little early, came home, took care of some things around the apartment, and then caught up with some of my very favorite people--VS, DdW, JS, and JR.
All of the above makes me realize how lucky I am. During one of those conversations, a friend told me that I sounded really happy, and, the truth is, I am. There are definitely things that could be better (read: hip and bar studying), but, all in all, life is really really good. I'm looking forward to this next chapter in life post-law school and all of the people who have found it worthwhile to be a part of the crazy journey--the weight loss, the weight gain, the emotional ups and downs, and now this.
I think the posts will likely slow down in the coming weeks as the bar approaches, but I hope y'all will forgive me for that. :)
Besito,
A
