That is true.  I did it!  Thanks to all of my friends and family who have helped me, tolerated me and suffered along side me for the past three years.  It will be worth it when I get you out of jail some day!

Well I have been living in East Tennessee for a full week now.  Obviously I have not had time for anything.  I haven’t blogged, I haven’t posted on flickr, I haven’t done much other than unpack and study for the Bar.

Let me just say that only a very disciplined person should take on the Self-Guided BarBri Course.  I have only made it through 2 subjects while the in-class course should be through at least 4 by now. I will blame part of it on the late start because of moving, but a lot of it is just having so much other stuff to do  too.  I cannot imagine having a job while also studying for the Bar.  I am putting in 8+ hours of studying in every day and I still feel like I am so far behind!

I just wanted to post a quick update that I am here in Tennessee now.  Alive and well, but busy beyond belief.  I hope to post more often now that I am finally getting into a “normal” schedule.

Me, of course!

That is part of the reasons things are quiet here.  I had finals, then graduation and finally a trip to Disneyland with the little sister.  Now I will spend the next 5 days packing up for the big move.  Finally, I will drive cross-country until I land in Tennessee.  I will keep you posted, but internet access will be limited throughout this journey.

I cannot describe the gamut of emotions that I have been through this week.  Stress from finals, relief and exhilaration that finals are over, and anticipation of what is around the corner.  Then there is the excitement of my family visiting and walking for graduation.  Sadness that this will be the last time I will see some of my fellow students who have laughed and cried with me these past three years.  The end of this chapter of my life is near and a new one will start again in East Tennessee with a new home, a new law firm, new friends and family around.

We all experience change in our lives.  Some embrace it and some push back in retaliation, happy to remain where they are.  Whomever you are, I hope that your next chapter is exciting, enlightening and blessed.
