School's Over!!!

Yes, I know I recently had a post with the same title but this time I really mean it! Not only are all my classes over but I just turned in my last exam of school ever (excluding the bar exam that I'm trying not to think about)! So how do I feel? Like an unhealthy blob emerging from her cave. The past few days have been another painful round of me, stuck in my apartment, trying to convince myself to work while another part of me tells me there are better things to do like watch tv, clean up, check blogs, or eat snacks. So how am I going to celebrate? By going for a run so I can reverse this trend!

Now I'm proud to say I'm joining a long tradition US judicial thought. I just hope I never stoop to the level of completely ignoring context and inventing loopholes as some in the profession are prone to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T72vgAEX66M
For those of you who haven't spent the last three years of your life studying the law, this is an interview of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia explaining that torture is constitutional because, while it may be both cruel and unusual, it's not punishment! I hope he has a great mattress so that he can sleep at night.

Congratulations Sarah for finishing your first year of law school today!

Congrats to both of you!!! Saskia, I'm so amazed that you are really finished..it really flew by (for me, at least!) Sarah, I'm so proud of you for finishing your first (and hardest) year of vet school.
Both of you girls should be very proud of yourselves.
