So, it's been exactly 3 months since I last posted and wonders of all wonders, nothing has happened in those last 3 months. Probably didn't help that for one of those three months, I went underground so that I could study for the Quebec Bar exam. The exam was 8 hours over 2 days and it covered everything. So hooray for it being over. It was a really odd experience though. For the last eight months I have been in school, for the sole purpose of taking this exam. My entire career, nay, my entire future was riding on this one exam. And I wasn't the only one who was nervous. You could cut the tension in that room with a knife. It was absolute insanity. People's hands were shaking, voices cracking or strained... Like an entire life was hanging in the balance... which I suppose, for some people, is the case. The grades are supposed to be released on Friday so we'll see how I did in less than 5 days, provided the Barreau holds up their end of the bargain and actually corrects the exams.
Otherwise, the world is basically same ol' same ol'. The last couple of weeks have been an emotional roller coaster for me so perhaps I am just longing for easier times but a friend of mine posted all these old photos on Facebook from my days at Westminster Camp and I couldn't fight the wave of sadness. I was a superstar back then and a super drama queen. I don't miss being a teenager but then again, I certainly miss a lot of the people that I spent time with. Obviously over the last 10-12 years, we've all grown up, gotten married, had kids (not me, I'm still way behind on that front) and through the wonders of the Internet now, I can go back to a time when life was way less complicated, when you didn't have to worry about finding a job, about long distance pseudo-relationships, about leaving your family, your home, your whole life to be with someone may not even appreciate the sacrifice you're making...
When I was 13, I couldn't wait to grow up and now that I'm on the verge of doing just that, I wish I could be a kid again. Ironic.
