Tip: It’s a really bad idea to sit on your lazy arse all winter and spring and then one day decide to carry all your worldly possessions up and down stairs and into a truck as fast as you can. Really bad idea. Everything hurts. And the truck is still not completely loaded. Moving. It is not a good thing. Being moved (the part that comes after the actual moving) is good. And, actually, I’m looking forward to the the 32-hour drive. But the moving? The loading and unloading? No. Thanks.

But enough whining. What I really wanted to tell you is that I took time out from the packing and all that yesterday to have coffee w/Monica from Buzzwords as she was passing through the area on her way to greener pastures. It was terrific to finally meet her! Although we went to different schools and only met for the first time yesterday, we’ve exchanged email and blog comments throughout our law school adventures, making her one of my closest friends from law school. That may sound odd but we just clicked on so many thingsââ�¬â��we both want to be public defenders (although she’ll be clerking for a while first), we both think law school should be all about public interest, and we’re both moving to crazy, obscure, rural places to start our legal careers (she’s going to Alaska, I’m going to Montana). Oh, and she saved my bacon in fed courts by convincing me to buy the Chemerinsky supplement. Thanks, Monica!

I might go on, but I’m exhausted. I should probably point out that this is probably it for me here in D.C. We’re pulling the plug on the internets and after that? I just don’t know. I’ll be updating whenever I can from wherever I can, but where I’ll be staying for the next month at least is not jacked in to this wonderful web so updates will likely be less regular than usual. Hence, this is the perfect opportunity for all of you who read the imbroglio but don’t have a blog of your own to start one immediately and start filling the void left by my absence.¹

It’s hard to believe we’ve been here three years, harder still to believe we’re leaving and going so far away, and harder yet to believe I’ve finished law school and have to take the bar exam in, oh, let’s see, 55 days. I should probably get on that studying thingââ�¬â��you think? At least I will be listening to some excellent MBE prep CDs on my driveââ�¬â��multitasking, you know.

Anyway, that’s it for now. Adios, D.C. I know I’m going to miss you. [tags]moving, bar exam, blogging friends[/tags]

1. Oh, ok, so it’s not a void at all, but surely there’s at least a crack there, a hairline fracture or something… ↩
