Assuming I Passed Non-Profits

I. Am. Done.

No more finals. No more classes. I have the gown - complete with the *doctoral* hood - in my closet, and the bar is the last hurdle before I'm a lawyer. And after PC, the bar really doesn't scare me.

I'm 24, and I've completed my schooling. My joy was well illustrated after finishing the Secured Transactions final by going over to ALV (who also is finished) and squealing like a pair of 13 year olds who had sighted their favorite boy band.

As ALV has pointed out though, this is the point where it gets terrifying if you don't have a job. But I choose not to think about that quite yet. (In my mind, I'm only going so far as May 12th, when I'll see NIN for the second time in the span of a year.)

What's known about the future - after BarBri in Waco, we're headed back to Dallas and moving into a real house with a backyard and everything. Charlie will be blissed out to have his own grass to roll around on, and I'll have a kitchen bigger than a closet. Other than that, everything's uncertain, but I still can't be bothered to worry about it.

I'm finished with law school! I hope! :P

Just To Share The Ridiculousness

I've been a bit absent lately, I know. I wish I could say something exciting happened in the last few weeks, and I was extremely busy with that, but frankly, the only difference about me is that I now have my very first speeding ticket. Woo...

Yeah, so as I'm smarting from the concept that wiping the ticket off my record will cost roughly FOUR TIMES the amount of just paying the fine, I come across proof that others have learned nothing from the error of their ways. I know that's a vague phrase in these times, but I'm talking about that monolith of backwards thinking - the record label companies.

YES! What an awesome idea! Make a site with a dumb name that is exactly like YouTube, only put more advertising in it and make sure no one can share the videos! That *does* sound like a winning business model. And perfectly in sync with what today's computer-savvy consumer wants.

I don't know what the perfect model IS. But I can say that the one the record companies are clinging to is *failing*. I'm not smart enough to solve their problem, but there are people out there that are. Perhaps it's time to abandon the sinking ship and listen to the people they've been suing the pants off of, eh?
