Class of 2007?
My fabulous roommate, the Leader, just finished her last law school final ever yesterday. Graduation for Boalt, Class of 2007 is on Saturday morning at the Greek Theater in the Berk. (And all jokes front and center!! Bar/Bri starts soon!! HA HA!! Sorry.)
I can't believe a year has passed. Graduation from law school was one of my greatest accomplishments, hands down. It was more than just the feat of completing a difficult academic path, but it was about proving to myself that I was capable of achieving so much in the process -- independence, identity, growth, and maturity. I am truly thankful for my education, not just my studies.
And now, a year has gone by. This morning I was in court. I was on the Record as a HOT DAG. I won my motion. Who would have thought that one year ago, this would have been possible. Certainly not me. I stay focused in my humility sometimes, but also in my moments of complete WTF?!?! How I got here, who knows.
To the Class of 2007, celebrate. Now is the time for nostalgia, for congratulations to one another, and to enjoy each other. Don't worry about the future, just indulge yourself in the moment. It's definitely a short one that passes so quickly - but one that you will remember the rest of you life. HOLLER!

The second year out moves just as quickly. The thing about law school is that it is so consuming for 3 years, it's hard to imagine being away from it. It's like, wow, where'd the routine go? I was just getting good at law school, now I have to go into something entirely new.
But that's the way we grow. You wouldn't want to be a 3L forever. Your experience as a HOT DAG is exactly the kind of experience that gives you something new in life. And in 5 years you'll want new challenges and new successes. And obviously you'll have them.
