Happy Holidays everyone.
One of the things I love most about the holiday season is finals. The aromatic scent of freshly printed outlines. The warm, gentle sting of paper cuts. The clickity-clack of frantic typing. The familiar, homey tenseness in my neck, back, and shoulders. Nightmares. Continuous Nauseousness. Complete self-loathing. Let's not forget the weeks of self-absorption when I get to forget about economic meltdown, layoffs, church, family, and hygiene. It's the most wonderful time of the year.
Oh, but there is hope. In three weeks, it will all be over--for a few more months. By the way, I only have one more semester after this. Maybe I will celebrate Christmas in April.
Of course I am only about 85% serious about all the finals horrors and pessimism. The other 15% of me is very greatful for all I have been blessed with. Law school has been a great opportunity, and has opened a lot of doors for me. We are also loving our new-ish home. Most importantly, I have realized in the last few weeks that I have an unusually large number of good friends. I also have a large number of unusual friends. Which seems is unusual for a largely normal person.
My car stinks, and now it lurches some times. The mechanics told us that there is nothing wrong because the engine light doesn't come on. Hmmm.

My car lurches too. I think it is an aging Ford Escort thing. I had mechanics check it out. They even feigned fixing it...but it still lurches.
Good luck with the finals thing. Life really is better when it is over...unless you like law school. In which case you shouldn't wonder why you attract unusual friends.
