In a month and a week, I'll be back home in NJ. I'm anticipating the change with a mixed amount of dread and eagerness. First, it'll be wonderful to be free from school and the law for some time. I plan on taking a massive month-long break where I mainly go to the beach and the movies, by myself, if need be. But I love my neighborhood here in Brooklyn. Everything is within two minutes' walking distance from me, and I'll sorely miss living in the city. On the other hand, my brother has an XBox 360 upon which I will happily wile away hours and hours of free time. But even the image of sitting alone playing XBox 360 doesn't make me that happy. It'll be lonely and quiet. It's disappointing that when we're finally free to party and make happy, my friends and I will be separated by unfathomable amounts of time and distance. Well, I exaggerate (don't I always?).. but it'll seem that way, since I'll be an hour (in no traffic) away from the city. No fun times. No "come over and let's watch the Doctor Who while eating copious amounts of indian food!" No "wanna get brunch?"
The fact that my mind has already skipped over the blank-ness of this oncoming month of July just shows how in-denial I am about this whole Bar exam tribulation. I'm already planning the novel I'm going to write in my time off, while I look for a job. If I write that novel, I've already planned out my pen name under which it'll be published. Heh. Last night, I fell asleep pretending to be a guest on Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show.
"I never thought I'd make it here! I'm such a huge fan, Conan. Why, yes, I did write the novel right after law school. No, I never thought it'd be such a huge hit! I'm just relieved I never actually had to go through with becoming a lawyer!" The crowd laughs.
Seriously though, once I'm a lawyer, my parents could feasibly hire me. As their attorney. And as their attorney, I'd recommend they hire a real attorney. You know, one that knows stuff and can do it.
Speaking of pipe dreams, I'm still running as often as I can (about two or three times a week) and I've actually stopped dying on the treadmill after ten minutes. Mini-wave in celebration of ME!
Also, I love Aaron Sorkin. Just started watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Too bad it didn't survive past its first year. I love that he lives in a world where men are noble, women are in charge, and bromances are more important than romances. It's so sweet.
