A momentous day
Today was my lovely wife's last day of law school.
3 long years have finally come to a close and I think we're both feeling some really mixed emotions. Law school is completely different from any other sort of higher education save medical school in the strain it puts not only on you, but your family and friends. You tend to change a great deal and there are great demands placed on your time.
Jennifer started law school in 2003 and we got married in August of 2004.
I think we weathered the storm nicely and it's weird and exciting that things are about to change quite dramatically.
We're moving to St Louis and we will both be changing our lifestyles a great deal.
I will hopefully be going to graduate school myself to study psychology, with any luck, I will get books published, and I will be getting a new part-time job. I will be busy, which is something that was hard for me in Columbia. The job market is weird here and I spent a great deal of my time here without a job or the money that comes along with one.
Jennifer will finally be ending her twenty-someodd year relationship with school. That journey is now over. But things will be starting again for her and that's exciting and scary. It's hard to go from ordinary person/student to full blown lawyer in a matter of months, but that's exactly what she'll do.
She is a goal oriented person and it's bittersweet when she finally accomplishes her goal. Like a piece is now missing. But the thing is, there's always a new goal to replace the last one.
My posts will probably be fairly sporadic over the next couple of weeks as we finish packing and move and whatnot. But I will try to drop by and talk about things. It's a pretty cathartic experience and one I think might relieve some of the stress.
On a totally different subject, today marks the end of another journey. Today, the Alter Mivo recorded its last program.
For those who don't know, a mivo is a digital video recorder offered by our cable company, Mediacom (hence the merging of Tivo and Mediacom, Mivo. I know, brilliant, right? That's why I'm a writer.). Basically, it's an extremely ghetto version of a Tivo and tonight, my wife and I purchased a real Tivo. It doesn't work, but we have it.
Yes, we're moving on up...to the east side...to the deeee-luxe apartment in the sky.
Yeah, we're moving on up...to the east side. Why, you ask? To finally get a piece of the pie.
