| so having neglected this thing for a long time, there isn't much new in my life. I'm almost done with law school (in my last year) and am interviewing with prospective full-time-grown-up-job employers now. Looks like i'll either be in FL or TX at a prosecutor's office. Putting the criminals in jail. wahoo. I've also interviewed with the Air Force for a spot in their JAG office. That's the top choice at the moment.
recap of the past year and a half:
more friends got married.
I'm 25 now. hot damn.
I've realized how much the past has past, but how much of the past is still present.
I'm happy for her, even if it hurts. And trust me, it does. But that ship has sailed, ne'er to be seen again, but in the hearts and minds and memories, of those it left behind.

| Where were you the day the music died? The day that the circle closed and the wheel spun on? The ghosts of the past scream memory which echo down the corridors we've traveled. But soundwaves are made of energy and energy fades as it bounces off one wall and another then anther and another. The faces blur and names fade... the past is lost, except in our dreams, where we remember... for a while anyway. The past has past, and that time is gone. The memories fade, like the graphite from a pencil on pages written long ago.
When do you stop being a child? Is there some defining moment in which you lose that innocence? that freedom? the simple joy for existence? There is... not always a moment... sometimes it creeps up on you. Other times, when death comes knocking at your door, there is no creeping up. Childhood ends with the discovery of death... afterall, kids wouldn't be kids if they feared what was real instead of what was in their heads. Its the realization that you dreams are just dreams, that reality is the nightmare, that kills the child in us. When you're more afraid of the light than the dark. When you remember the hurt. the pain. the past. When yesterday is not forgotten and tomorrow occupies more of your mind than today... that's the loss of childhood.
... I remember walking out the door, and getting into the car. Pulling out of the lot, looking at the sign as it passed on by. I knew then that we'd never all be together again... some of us, yes, but the crew was breaking up for the last time. I smiled, and sighed, and drove just a little faster. The ghosts will have to chase me. I don't doubt that they will catch me.... but they'll still have to chase me.

| well, an insane first semester of law school is coming to a close. 2 finals down, 2 to go.

| you know you're gettin old when you barely notice that another birthday has come and gone.
hope everyone had a good laborday (not like anyone reads this anymore anyway) | | |
| Poll:
For the summer should I:
Study abroad in Spain for 6 weeks (and get to do the running of the bulls while I'm there)
or
Work with a pro-bono organization and (ideally) get to spend the summer aboard working in international human rights law
or
Try to get an internsip with a local firm or judicial clerkship (which will be almost impossible as a rising 2L... that should probably wait a year)
Comments welcome and encouraged | | |
