The bar exam ate my soul (and other whining)

Got my grad photos done:

OMG! I'm, like, so totally legal! (Insert hair toss here).

Sadly though, it seems we're not all pleased as punch to be finishing law school. Saw this on post secret:


Over the summer there was a flurry of articles all basically saying the legal profession is soul-crushing, Bay Street is a gulag, and all lawyers are rats.

You know what I think? If you hate practicing law, but just do it to impress people, or to make a lot of money, or because your dad was a lawyer, or some other similarly silly reason: is it really such a huge surprise that you dislike your job?

I'm just sayin'.

I like that look -- it's like the legal "blue steel."

Do you get to keep the robe? ;)

I still like the one with the flowers better, but this is good too. Are you sure you didn't photoshop yourself and send something to postsecret?

I am guessing that is standard Ottawa grad garb which means you can go through the composites and find this tortured soul. Wonder where she ended up...
