Third Year

I am now in my third year. It is crazy to think back on the last two years. It was hard. It's been a long time coming. Next summer might be the hardest thing I have to do in my professional life (taking the bar) but I know I can do it. I can move forward and be the best at what I want to do.
This past summer was amazing. I made some friends who I know will always be there for me and I miss them like crazy. I spent all my time with them and I can't wait for Christmas break to see them all again. I love my law school friends and I love my La Crosse girls and now that I have a new group I am as happy as ever. Finally I will be able to have some friends close to home and that take me as I am. I love my family but really Edgerton wasn't offering me any reason to come back. Now I have people who I don't want to lose. People I hope to have in my life forever that will be close by. I still fully expect to have my La Crosse girls and my Law school friends in my life forever but I have to travel around the country to see them. Now I have some close friends in my own back yard.
I have my fingers crossed that this will be my last semester in Concord. I am going to try and extern in the spring with two lawyers I got to know this past summer. They are great guys who have lots to teach and I really hope they will take me on as an extern. I am really excited about learning how to be a lawyer once and for all. Law school has taught me to hate school more(even though its finally something I am interested in). After basically 20 years of school (I think I started preschool when I was 4) I am ready to be done. I am ready to be out in the work force and be able to take a break from stuff once in a while. Yes I know being a lawyer wont allow for me to have many breaks...but I am sure that I will enjoy being a lawyer 150% more than I enjoy being a law student. At least as a lawyer I don't have to do things I hate...like take classes with professors who don't teach anything. And I wont have to pay 40 grand a year to be a lawyer. I mean there will be dues and there will be costs but it wont be that much different than any other profession and it wont be me paying to go to school and listen about how the law works...I will be in the middle of it all.
So this has rambled on for a while and I have homework to do...
I have my fingers crossed that I can be a better blogger this semester. I guess we will see!!
