LQ, JD

At least I think I'm a JD now. Technically the program at graduation listed us all as JD Candidates. And we've gotten an email that we won't receive our actual diplomas for 3-4 months.

We got here last Wednesday. Since then we've been doing lots of running around, going to graduation related events, and spending time with family and friends. I even snuck in a hair cut with the super fantabulous hair cutting lady!

Graduation itself was long and very, very hot. Our faculty speaker performed a rap for us. Our keynote speaker preemptively yelled at us for degrading the profession. (Sweet!) The first member of our class to get his lovely diploma cover was a guy from my section, who was probably the person least invested in the whole law school process. But all in all, the ceremony was nice and I'm glad I went. I think some people were surprised that I showed up. For my part, I was surprised at some of the people who didn't show.

My family kept asking me if I was excited and/or nervous before the ceremony. I can't really say that I was either of those things. Mostly I was just tired.
