Today is my last, last day of school.  After 18 years of education (since kindergarten.. it would be 20 but there were two times I combined two years into one- once in grade school and once in high school), I am almost done!  Today is my 18th “last day,”  and since I currently don’t have any plans of further education, it is most likely my last last day ever! (technically I still have 3 exams to take, but I don’t count those as “school days”) .

There are many things I’m absolutely THRILLED about with law school being over:

• No more sitting in classes
• No more reading boring casebooks (during 1L I loved reading for class because it was all so interesting and new.  But by this point the magic has disappeared)
• No more law school papers
• No more BUYING very expensive, boring casebooks
• No more grades!
• No more 3-hour comprehensive, closed-book exams being the basis for my entire grade!
• No more curve!
• No more parking battles in the law school parking lot

There are also many things I will miss about law school:

• Learning new things
• Socializing with people between classes
• a lot of the people!
• The relaxed, flexible schedule
• How beautiful Pepp’s campus is, and the honor of getting to go to school at such a beautiful place every day
• Krissi! (she’s moving back to Texas )
• Something new and different every few months (new schedule each semester, different job for summer)
• the faculty and staff

Ok, I realize these are pretty random lists.. I didn’t sit down and think them out beforehand.  The main point is that there are things I will miss and things I won’t.  Nevertheless, I am very excited that today is my last day.  I have one, one-hour class and that’s it.  After that is study time for my 3 exams.  My last final exams!  Woohoo!
