Gack

It's absolutely killing me that I can't update my blog, but I've been

a) graduating
b) picking my parents up from the airport
c) dealing with said parents, who want to see EVERY tourist attractions my town has to offer
d) packing up baby's entire caboodle
e) sending my baby on the plane to the west coast with my mom
f) writing a 30-page paper in two days
g) taking a six-hour evidence final
h) packing up my apartment
i) getting ready to drive across the country
j) worrying about losing all my blog readers for lack of posts
k) wondering why blogger put those little star ratings on my blog
l) loving the star ratings because maybe people will tell me they love me
m) hating the star ratings because they give me performance anxiety
n) getting kicked off the mils list because I graduated
o) thinking about starting my own list called "moms out of law school" except the acronym would be mools
p) getting a potential offer for a job here in Wisconsin, right after I put my baby on the plane with my mom, gave up my apartment, packed up my worldly goods, and had my father fly out here on a one-way ticket so he could help me drive my car to the west coast
q) thinking about putting a picture of myself on my blog, just for a day, just for the hell of it
r) obsessively checking to see if my grades have been posted, despite the fact that it takes the law school approximately three months to post grades
s) I'm totally not exaggerating - I took civ pro in the fall of my 1L year and didn't get my grade until April
t) wondering if I'll ever have anything entertaining to write about on my blog ever again
u) remembering that I'm about to drive across the country with my dad and thinking that should generate some good stories
v) blogging at 10:30 at night when I really should be pumping, packing, or sleeping, cause that's how much I love my readers
w) realizing that since I've gotten to "w" I now have to go all the way to "z"
x) knowing that this is probably the lamest blog post ever
y) hoping my readers will forgive me
z) and deciding that a sucky blog post is better than no blog post at all

So there you have it. I am officially on hiatus from blogging until:

a) I arrive at my parents house on the west coast
b) I figure out how to spell "hiatus" and punctuate "parents house"
c) I lose the compulsion to express myself in list form

And my friends, that will take:
a) at least a week

Have a safe drive - and let me know if you want to chat about contacts in (y)our hometown!

Ohmigawd! Have a safe trip and RELAX! It makes no difference what your grade is, you won't know until you know it, and it won't change so don't obsess and check it every once in a while. Not every day! Promise yourself you will do that and not worry in between. Well, that's exactly the kind of thing that would work for me but not a lot of other people, so do what you think is best.
I will check up on you!

You're not off the MILS list until after the barzam. And I had a thought about this -- check your email in a few days.

Otherwise, safe trip and all that/

Mahala said...

We'll be here when you get back :)

CM said...

Congratulations on being DONE!

We could always go back to being MILFs, like PT-LawMom suggested -- Moms in the Legal Field. :)

moo said...

congrats!!

And yikes! And ... I'll be waiting on tenterhooks (isn't that a great expression) to see what happens next!

Butterflyfish said...

I was thinking MILPs (Moms in the Legal Profession)

MILFs is hella funny though

Why the hell don't I have ratings?! I want ratings, damnit.

Good to know you're still alive . . and I'd totally be part of your "Mools" group. If, that is, I ever finish this law school hell-hole . . . I have the lovely pleasure of taking summer school classes since, of course, spring smester wasn't enough fun for me. But after that I'll be done.

Congratulations . . . and simultaneously EFF YOU for finishing before me. *sigh*

Take your time. Try to unwind. And we'll all be here when you get back.

"...worrying about losing all my blog readers for lack of posts..."

Man, there's a lot of driving going on these day. What's with all the cross-country road-trips? Are all y'all jumping on the bandwagon or what???
