Whoa-o, We're Halfway There!

Tomorrow (technically, today) marks the first day of our fourth semester of law school, meaning we're halfway done. Crazy.

Earlier today, my roommate described our law school career as such: "It's like a mountain. We got to the top, so it's all downhill from here."

Another friend agreed, saying, "It's like a week, and it's Wednesday afternoon. We just have to get through Thursday, and then we can coast all through Friday."

Whatever the schematic, it's a bit sobering to think we're now halfway-educated wannabe lawyers. I can't even competently pick classes for this semester or my outfit for tomorrow, nonetheless do anything for a hypothetical real-life client that will exist sometime in the future. Regardless, mini milestones like this give us time to pause and reflect on just how blessed we are to be here...coasting toward Friday or careening down a mountain. :)
