Back to School

(I'm back from a not-so-long hiatus so that my sisters will get off my back. However, I would just like to point out that I post twice as frequently as any of you, so you have no room to complain!)

In honor of my very last back to school season ever, I thought I would do an update on a post from 2 years ago where I set goals for myself in law school. I got at least one prediction right: looking back, I have had a good chuckle out of at least half of my goals. For those of you too lazy to look at the link, here's a recap:

1. Make Law Review
2. Graduate without living up to Miss Kitty's expectations that I would have a fiance by the time law school was over
3. Graduate with some sort of cum laude behind my name and a high-paying job
4. Have a niece

Here's my progress:

1. Haha. No. But just to make sure I wasn't missing out on any of the self-torture and fun, I found a positions with much of the pain, but little of the prestige.
2. Got this one down pat. Nowhere near anything resembling a functional relationship. I win!
3. The cum laude is a maybe (knock on wood) and the job is a probably (although if I don't pick between San Francisco and Chicago soon, they might both say to heck with me!). My favorite part of the job goal was that I stated in no uncertain terms that I would not be a corporate lawyer and while I'm still going into the litigation side of things and not the transactional side, my firm is known for its corporate practice more than anything else. "Hello, Dark Side? How much will you give me for my soul?"
4. *grrrrrrrrrrr*

And now, roughly $100,000 of debt later, I've readjusted my personal goals:

1. Don't screw my journal up too badly. Get all three issues out before graduation.
2. Don't f up the GPA, take easy classes, and close my eyes, spin around three times, & pick a city to work in.
3. The campaign for Baby Hamilton 2009 is officially underway. Campaign contributions are greatly appreciated.
