I officially became a Juris Doctor last weekend. There really isn't any way to describe the day other than a tizzy. I was kind of out of it all day. I put shampoo in my hair instead of gel. I gave backwards directions to everyone to the location of the ceremony. I was seriously concerned that I'd fall on the stage. I do not remember them calling out my name. All in all it was a once in a life time event that I may never fully remember, but definitely won't forget.
My family threw me the sweetest graduation party complete with themed food (you must read the menu), pretty decorations, and a sign your own quilt square that my mom is using to create a quilt. We then went back to my party after the ceremony for dessert and champagne.
Graduation itself was OUTSIDE. In the Texas Heat. Wearing those gowns and hats in 90+ degree heat was somewhat torture, but the ceremony itself was very beautiful.
And now it's time to dive head first into Barbri and studying for the Texas Bar Exam. One final test!!
Thanks to everyone for all of the support over the years. It's meant so much to me.
