Back from Break

Just when I was beginning to enjoy school, I had to go work full time for a week during spring break. Now doing homework again seems dreary and uninspired. Now I am counting weeks until school is over, even if it means the bar exam is on the other side of graduation. When I am at work, I feel like I have a purpose. At school, I just feel there is a lot to do that just has to get done, and while the larger purpose of getting a law degree is at the forefront of my motivation right now, I know that as soon as I have it it will be pretty meaningless unless I have some work that gives me a purpose for using it.

One thing that is becoming clearer to me is that I really enjoy doing criminal law. It doesn't surprise me that the worst grade I have received so far in law school was in my criminal law class. The worst grade I received in all of high school was in German and I ended up with a Masters degree in German Literature. There seems to be some sort of pattern there. Now I just have to find a job that will pay the bills.
