No More Finals, but the Studying Never Stops.....

So.....finished my last two finals last Tuesday. I had two finals in the same day, which was no fun at all. Basically three hours of writing, then a short break, three more hours of writing. Anyone thinking about attending law school in the future, please keep in mind that each exam period, you will have bruised fingers and thumbs and almost have an exhaustion breakdown.........I was so tired at the end of the day.

Since then, life has been a blur and a combination of trying to catch things up at the office and trying to find sanity again, with a splash of trying to relax. I only have one week from my last final until the first day of bar review courses. What really sucks is that the first day of bar review courses is literally the morning after graduation, which is May 15. I picked up my cap and gown on Tuesday, and bought an outfit to wear this weekend at Elder Beerman. Really cute dress and awesome shoes, they are actually comfy after a night of wear. The graduation is being held at the Detroit Opera House, so I hope the temp there is good, and I don't have to stand too much....

Had a great weekend. Friday night, we took Kory to dinner at La Shish in Dearborn, to have dinner with Julia and Jay. He had never had Lebanese food, and really liked it. Even tried Jay's "kibbe nayee", which is basically raw lamb. Saturday night, we went to dinner with Kory, Cliff and Lisa, in Ann Arbor at Seva, a vegetarian restaurant, that was superb. Then, we went to the comedy club underneath Seva, called Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase. The first comedian was AWFUL, but the second two were funny. We rated the show average, but Kory loved it since it was his first comedy show ever. :). Today, we had dinner with Grama, Aunt Karen, my Dad, and Kory at Quatro's in Monroe. Food was great, but the service was below par, our waitress was kinda rude, which is so rare there. I think she must have been stressed but still. What a beyotch.

Oh, two weekends ago, Kurt and Kory bought and planted 9 Birch trees, 20 feet tall each. They look awesome in the backyard and since it has been raining nonstop since, hopefully they are rooting in really well.

Anyway, off to bed. I am exhausted and have a long week in front of me......
