Last week of classes

It's hard to believe that I'll be finished with law school in less than two weeks, I'll graduate in under three weeks, and I'll take the bar exam a little over three months from now. I'm probably one of very few law students who actually enjoyed law school. I think part of the reason I liked law school so much is that I realized pretty quickly that I made the right decision to attend. In undergrad, I always wondered what I would do with my German major, due in part to my refusal to ever really master the grammar (I'm still not totally sure of when I should use accusative or dative, and still not overly concerned about it). 

I still feel like I have a lot to do in the next two weeks, so graduation doesn't feel real yet. Even though there's a lot to get done, I'm looking forward to seeing my family and celebrating the new initials.

I love the confused looks people give me when I tell them I majored in German but am not planning to teach it. The German language, history, culture, literature, etc. always interested me, but not enough to pursue a career in it.

Our German degrees have prepared us to be Master Travelers throughout Germany, Austria, and parts of Switzerland. I always did think the coolest job ever would be "vacation package tester" though, where I would get to test vacation packages. Unfortunately, that job doesn't seem to exist, so I guess I'll be a lawyer.
