So a week ago today I strode out of my Employment Exam - last exam of my three year JD. I turned to my peers and cried "Last exam is over! Who will join me for gelati and drinks ( Read more... )

Just a short one tonight, I've been gaming all day and my folks want me to wake up early enough to cram tomorrow full of relaxing. *sigh* sometimes growing up seems to involve more effort for less fun ( Read more... )

Things to talk about...well, I guess a general update works. This is a bit long...
