It's that wonderful time again, finals week is back and we're all in the midst of it. The library is thick with tension and frustration as 1L's, 2L's and 3L's struggle to find the meaning of the past three months and synthesize it in to 3 hours. In one week from today I'll be done with the first semester of my second year and be half way through law school and I couldn't be more excited. I can almost taste the christmas eggnog. It's been a long semester and all my (and everyone else's) hard work has finally (almost) paid off. Sometimes when school gets hard it's tough to remember why we're doing this. But we're here, we're going to be lawyers some day.... So, to everyone in the thick of it, keep up the good work, rock those finals and then let's celebrate.

I was really grumpy today after my torts final. 4 finals down, 1 to go and I'm exhausted. For some reason this semesters finals have been super tough. Mentally, physically, everything. They really suck. So, today when I got home from my final, what did I do to get out of my slump? I took Henry for a walk, painted my nails, watched American Idol, had a beer and skyped with Coti and Natalia. They knew what to say, what jokes to tell and exactly what to say to make my finals weeks grumpiness go away. So, thanks you two, you pulled me out of my slump. Now it's time to go, study for Con Law, and finish this week out. I'm ready to be done with my first year, I'm ready to be a 2L. Let's do it.

Happy (day after) Easter everyone! I hope it was a wonderful day spent celebrating the real meaning of Easter, enjoying family, and maybe decorating some Easter eggs :) I didn't get to spend Easter with my actual family, but I got to spend it with Adams, who, in the goodness of their hearts took me in for the day, and it was a great day. And, in less than two weeks I get to be back with mine, celebrating Tom & Camila and finals being done! But, for the next two weeks it's all about Property, Civ Pro, Torts, Contracts and Constitutional Law. Here we go. Good luck to everyone who's in the midst of finals. We'll get through it, we always do.
