I had a really awesome dream last night. I was dreaming about school and was stressing about planning for school next year and picking out classes and then I remembered! I remembered that I'm graduating in May and all the stress just melted away. It was such a wonderful feeling. :-)
I'm taking a class right now that's supposed to help prepare me for the Washington Bar. I had my first test yesterday in it for Torts. I was all freaked out then Bryan reminded me that the very fact that I'm already practicing for the bar in January is a really good thing. I'm learning how to write for the bar and this will only help me later.
I have a bad habit of looking so far ahead that I forget to celebrate things in the present. I'm already so focused on studying and prepping for the bar that I know I'm not going to be as happy as I should be for graduation. I need to figure out a way to not do this. For once I need to be happy about my accomplishments. I'm 25, I'm a University of Washington college graduate, and I'm graduating from law school. It's time to be proud of myself damnit! I can worry about the bar when it comes, I need to learn to celebrate and be happy when the time is right for that too.
I heard this song on my way to school today. Perfect timing. This song has helped push me through law school. "This isn't meant to last, this is for right now."
