Tonight we had the final class session for our 1L year. Tuesday was our last Crim Law, Wednesday our Contracts and tonight our Torts. No one seemed to want to leave after class was done, hanging around talking and knowing that this group would not be reassembled again. Some will leave, some will stay, but others will join us. And during the summer we are taking different classes. I sound ridiculously sentimental, but I have enough life experience to know that this group is a special one. We melded and coalesced in a way not expected at the outset. I know that coalescence has been a recurring theme of this blog, but it is remarkable, and I treasure it. Therefore I mourn the ending of our first year. A year of naivete and 'uncarved block' ness, as Pooh would say.
And now we are in the home stretch for exams. The first one is Criminal Law, on Tuesday. Just 5 days, and a lot of review to be done. Yet I am going to work tomorrow, to the hardware store after work, and because I'm getting 8 yards of dirt delivered on Friday, I shall be wheelbarrowing dirt on Saturday morning. Saturday evening my family is coming over for a birthday dinner and Sunday morning we are having birthday breakfast for one of our classmates. Yes, I am crazy. But I think it will all work out. I need dirt in my life too, although perhaps not at exam time.
