Graduation, car, bar, ugh.
Allright, this is going to be a very short entry, my apologies.
First, I graduated from law school and was very happy about that (though not too happy because I still had to take the bar exam. See more about that below). Pictures are here.
Second (in order, not in time), Cedar and I got our new Prius! It’s silver, beautiful and really a great car. I love it. Pictures here.
Note: the first picture mimicks a picture I found of my Dad when he bought the Maxima that I mentioned in my last post. Anyone want a 1990 Nissan Maxima?
Third: Hellfish (ultimate team) won spring league finals again on my birthday. We kick ass! Pictures.
Fourth: Bar review. You lawyers will groan, break into a sweat, or perhaps sit in a corner and rock upon reading those words. You non-lawyers will think, “I like bars, they sell beer there.” Well, the bar exam is a horrible thing that lawyers make other lawyers pass. Briefly: 21 subjects, closed book, 2.5 days, 5 weeks to study. It is like studying for finals for 5 weeks. I’m serious. So I’m doing that until July 26th, 27th, and 28th. I’m a touch cranky, emotional, stressed, and tired. Poor Cedar.
After that Cedar and I will take our shiny new Prius and drive around, probably on the west coast. I love road trips. I love the Prius. And I love Cedar. It is a fitting counterpoint/end/celebration of the last three years.
I’m going to make like an Oscar/Emmy winner and thank you, my friends and family, for letting me complain to you, asking me how I’m doing, being funny, fun and supportive. I think you all are great. Cedar gets the “God” prize as he is first and foremost the person without whom I could not have finished this whole ridiculous process (school, more school, the bar). Cedar, I love you and I win the lottery every morning when I wake up and you are there.

It just meant I had to stumble down two flights of stairs to see you before I won the lottery. A condition precedent. Aaaah! Make it (law speak) stop!

Okay, hi. Crying. That was the most beautiful acceptance speach I’ve ever heard. I’m so proud of you and so grateful that you married my brother! Hope I’m on the road trip route…

Ali,
Hey, well first of all congratulations on finishing law school. I just emailed Cedar so i won’t prattle on too long here, I just wanted to say hi. I found your pics from potlatch and realized, “hey, i know these people.” Anyway, I hope all’s going well (I’m sure you’re swamped with bar review) good luck with that and drop me a line if you get a chance. If you want to extend your road trip to AZ, you’ve got a place to stay in Tucson!
Best wishes.
