Over the hill

Well, my bi-yearly blog post came early. I'm now over half way done with law school. Part of me is feeling like there is light at the end of the tunnel, and the other part is seeing the ominous creature (a.k.a. life) at the end of the tunnel and wants to run the opposite direction. Screaming. And pulling my hair out.
Yes, law school is a beast, but life after school doesn't exactly look the best either. I guess they've both got their pros and cons.
For example:

Life after law school:
Pros: no more living off debt, actually having a job, earning money, no more useless assignments for ILMR/Moot Court/Negotiations class, etc.,
Cons: no more 3 week Christmas vacations; I'll have to report to a boss; I'll have to actually get up and out of bed on time; I'll have to hang out with a bunch of people that think they are really smart, and I have to play along too

Life during law school:
Pros: I can be a slacker and enjoy it; occasional free food; occasional fun activities; I get to hang out with a bunch of smart people and pretend like I'm one of them; I get to hang out with some really hilarious people that actually bring a little bit of my life back that the law school is desperately trying to drain away
Cons: finals; debt; really, I can't be a slacker because I fall behind in my reading and I then have no idea what's going on in class, and then I have to just work that much harder before the finals and even then I still don't know what's going on; I have to do finals; debt; I will have to do a substantial writing paper (by substantial writing, I mean that I have to write a paper that will take a substantially large amount of my time, sanity, and well-being, just to graduate from law school; as if they hadn't taken enough from me); and finals; and debt

So anyways, I suppose I'll have to finish off whatever green grass this side of the fence has to offer me before I get thrown into real life, where whatever green grass exists over there is interspersed with cow doo-doo.

In other news: I love being a husband and father. In fact, I'm glad to say that my family will probably be my one constant source of happiness and light through the turbulent times of law school/finding a job/keeping a job/rest of life.
Bless them for all they do.
