first day of work numbness

december 1, 2010 marks my first day at work. in my 26 years of existence, i know i have worked hard. i study hard. i try to do things to the best of my abilities. i cherish my relationships and all its trappings. uncannily, after 23 years of studying and carefree existence, the scene has changed. i now have an 8-to-5 job.

i tell myself, this is really the beginning of what lies ahead. phew...

breathe in. breathe out.

now if i could just find the right outfit for tomorrow, hmmm...

countdown to last days of law school...

reminiscing.

breathing.

taking a plunge.

making hard choices.

my quarter life crisis just got better. im sure im going to miss my friends in law - blockmates, portians, other law people. im sure im going to miss my routine - aral (?), inom, portia parties, block parties. im sure im going to miss a lot of things that happened in the last four years.

and now im facing another reality. no to dependency. no to allowances from parents. no no no to a lot of things. the buck stops here. owen - you are really growing up.
