Well, it happened. I survived a 3-year gestational period during which that incubator (aka UW Law School) created what it could out of an ex-politico-union-rep.
I graduated in June, burried myself in a hole of hell until the Bar exam late July, and then I did the deed. After 3 days of mechanical rule spouting, I emerged a changed person. I had officially done all I could do.
And, miraculously, it paid off.
So, here I am, just 1 week out from taking an oath to uphold the standards of the legal profession, blah blah blah. It's mind blowing, actually. It's like you spend your whole life working to get somewhere and suddenly, BAM. You're there.
It's a little disorienting - like waking up from a dream that dragged on for so long, you forgot there was an ending. And suddenly you wake and you realize that it's not the ending at all - it's actually the beginning of a brand new day.
So, that's where I am. At the beginning of my brand new day as a lawyer. Today, I'll be specializing in civil litigation. Tomorrow, who knows what tomorrow will bring.
