The Last First Day

January 22, 2007 2:55 AM

oday is the last time I will ever start a new semester. Today is my last first day of school. Ever.

I can't really believe it. When I came to law school, I was incredibly eager to get out into the world, get a job, be a real person. I still really, really want that. I want to move into a nicer apartment, I want to have a good job, I want to buy a new car. I want to be a real person.

But the responsibility frankly freaks me out.

I can't believe that in four short months, I will be a licensed attorney and that I will, hopefully, have a job. I can't believe that I'll be done with school. Twelve years to graduate from high school, five years for college, and now three for law school. That's twenty years--four fifths of my life. And tomorrow is the beginning of the end of all of that.

I'm excited, but I'm not looking forward to it. I can't wait, but I wish it wasn't happening so soon.

And, not to mention, there's a new episode of Heroes on tomorrow night.

Man. This is really hard to believe.
