Graduation looms. While I'll miss this place, the environment, the leisure to learn and the rest, there's part of me that is really looking forward to working again. I have fantasies about it, in fact. I don't imagine myself in my office or telling people at parties I'm a lawyer. That can't happen until I pass the bar and sworn in, in any case.
No, I fantasize about paying bills. Specifically, I can't wait until I can start shoving money towards those companies I'm about to pay through the teeth for letting me use their cash. I can just picture myself in a wonderful state of non-obligatory bliss, and it is a beautiful thing. I have one year to go until my car is paid off, and it will be great when that's done. Not that I want a car-payment-sized surplus in my income, I just look forward to adding that extra amount to my next bill to get it paid off that much sooner.
As fantasies go, it's pretty pedestrian. But I'm looking forward to it all the same.
where do the girls in pajamas fit in...? :-)
Hmm, I suppose they could contribute to the debt-reduction fund. Everyone can!
