The Modern Bohemian

I’m bad at saying goodbye. After all, I’m a cancer; I hold on the past like nobodies business. There is something especially bittersweet about graduating from undergrad for me. Talk about a whirlwind of emotions-one day I’m fed up and another day I’m crying. Most of the time it makes absolutely no sense. There is something so comforting about the place that has become my home. I really have grown up here, had my first EVERYTHING in this town. And now, I’m supposed to leave it and go to another place? 

Life is happening so fast. In the fall I embark on a new journey-law school. I am humbled as I shall soon start worrying about briefing cases, law review, on-campus interviews, and the bar exam. Goodbye LSAT…hello bar exam. Those of you that really know me know how excited and eager I am to begin my transition into the lawyer I shall soon become. I have no idealization of the work. I think I’m a pretty tough girl, I must get even more tougher. I have to be prepared to play the game and be smart, witty, and ready to put in the time. Class of 2010-lets get ready to roll up our shelves and work! It will be harder than it was for our parents but we can do it. The road will be tough but we have come too far to turn back now. 

Back to my existential dilemma… I just don’t know how to feel anymore. I don’t want to curl up into a ball for the next couple of weeks and I don’t want to act out either. What’s a girl to do?
