Well it doesn't mean that I'm off lying on a beach somewhere (dammit). Though it did mean that I could sleep in today. And you know what? I'm gonna sleep in tomorrow too...
But my todo list is still pretty long. These are some of the things on it for the rest of the month:
1) Catch up on all the stuff that has been neglected for the past days, weeks, months, three years...
2) Two journal projects. Definitely law school related, but not tied to my degree. If I never did them, I could still graduate. But then people would get mad at me, and that would be bad.
3) Job hunt. I've got a trip booked to California, and I've just figured out how to get myself to NJ for a week too. But first I need to send out resumes, which I'll do next week.
4) Bar review. Starts (for me) the 23rd. This is one of the reasons I'm glad I'm done so early (even though it made April a little intense) because I can't imagine what it would be like to go straight from finals to bar review like I know some students do. At least now I've got three weeks to reset and catch-up on things before diving in. Plus I just discovered that I can buy myself a little more time to get some of these other things done because it turns out I can start Bar Bri in a different location than I'll take the rest of it. Meaning that bar review and the NJ job hunt can happen simultaneously (since I'll otherwise be doing Bar Bri in Boston). Which is good, because I was wondering how I was going to squeeze that in…
5) Socialize. "Senior week" is next week and the SBA organized a bunch of events, so that will be fun, and I hope to hang out with some 2L friends too. The fact that this may be my last chance to see people in a long time, if not ever, is sort of weighing heavily in my mind…
6) Travel. I have a trip planned for this weekend that I'm really excited about, but more on that later.
7) Blog. I still need to finish my posts on the colloquium, and I've got a lot of other backlogged ideas that I should finally have the time to explore.
8) Graduate.
9) Read a non-law related book. Perhaps even "fiction."
10) Think about what it really means to be "done." It's quite the dramatic change...
Anyway, I guess that's not so bad: only 10 things on my list. Totally manageable, right?

Dramatic. And great.

Cathy,
And I thank you too. Although, it occurred to me that Mark, in the end, might have been slightly right about keeping the law school bits apart from the personal bits for one reason I could come up with - I wonder if, in fact, the ride is over, since you have graduated, because I will sure miss it.
-Koichi, looking for a Shel Silverstein-like bit of writing right about now...
