The law school graduation was held on Friday afternoon, at Alumni Park. The ceremony included speeches by one of my former roommates, an alumnus of the law school who has developed apartments in downtown L.A., and the current White House Counsel. However, the most notable thing about the ceremony itself, at least from graduates' perspectives, was the intense heat, particularly since everyone was wearing heavy graduation regalia. If nothing else, the robes did minimize the impact of sunburns, since most of my skin was not exposed. After the ceremony, I mingled with fellow graduates and professors before going to a graduation dinner with friends and family members.
Today was more laid-back. I was able to move some of my belongings into my summer apartment; this should make things a little easier tomorrow, when I am required to check out.

Graduation Eve
Unsurprisingly, I've been pretty busy lately.
I finished paper #3 at around 4:00 on Friday morning, which gave me just enough time to get ready and head home before Chrissie's USC graduation. The family ended up attending three ceremonies. The first was held for the entire school, and the other two were 'satellite' ceremonies for the departments my sister majored in (Film and Theater); we weren't able to attend a fourth ceremony (College of Letters, for her Political Science major) because it conflicted with the Theater graduation, but that would probably have been one ceremony too many anyway. I was glad to see Chrissie (and Matt) graduate, although I was naturally pretty tired.
This week, I've been trying to catch up with various chores and tasks that I have been meaning to do for a while. I got a desperately-needed haircut, did some shopping, and finally replaced my cell phone.

Work and an Interview
I wasn't able to get any sleep on Tuesday (April 26th), but I did manage to turn in papers #1 and #2. I had to take a few more days to finish my Legal Summaries, but at least the journal is a bit more flexible than my professors. Now, all I have to do before graduation is take Wednesday's Wills and Trusts exam and write paper #3.
The journal had its end-of-year dinner on Wednesday. Everyone seemed to have a fun time, and the food was good. Our Editor-in-Chief also passed out NAALJ tote bags as gifts.
