Scattered to the Four Winds
So, summer is upon us. While this is a generally awesome thing as it means no classes, no finals, no studying and no school generally, there is also one large downside: the law school folk have left Madison in droves. I can literally count on one hand the number of good friends that will be in town this summer. While those friends are awesome, I will greatly miss the people who are gone.
Still, a lot of my friends are in Chicago, which means they're close and that I have an excuse to go to my favorite city. And, of course, everyone will be back next year and we'll all be 3Ls. And, as Zachar has pointed out several times: What sucks about being a 3L? NOTHING! But, that's not really true. There's one thing that's shorta shitty about being a 3L: the real world is but one year away.
I didn't have to deal with "facing the real world" syndrome the last time I graduated from something because I came straight here. I didn't have to worry about getting a real job or paying off debt. But now I do. Or at least I will. And while this mostly excites me (when I first got to law school, I couldn't wait to be a "real person") it also terrifies me a little bit.
And I think I'll miss everyone from law school when this little adventure is over, too. But, then, I managed to keep in touch with most people from college, although I need to call Medley back. And it looks like a lot of people are moving to Chicago. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, I will be moving to Chicago after law school, also. I do love it down there. But even that has a downside: I'd have to take the bar.
Still, the summer is here and I should enjoy it. I have a few trips to Chicago to look forward to this summer, and an excellent 3L year. The real world can wait for a few more months.
