So I've been sworn in. But who knows how long it will take to actually get my bar card and license. I felt like a lawyer-impostor, sitting in the sea of black suits and not having a job or any prospect of such. I'm getting tired of the pride and happiness of all my important moments being mitigated by the loserness of not having a job.
I was shocked by how many people were there. Hundreds of lawyers and many more families. And babies--there were babies crying throughout the whole damn thing. Why do babies need to be there? And if they do need to be there, why can't you be respectful of everyone else and remove them when they start to fuss? This was in a coliseum, so everything echoed--even a little fuss could be heard for several rows.
The hotel we stayed in was gorgeous. It is very old and supposedly haunted, but we saw no signs of ghosts. It was also in a great location, so we were able to walk out the door and have our choice of eating and drinking establishments. It was nice to be able to go out and have fun without worrying who would drive back or when we needed to relieve the sitter. And I learned that tequila-induced relaxation relieves my TMJ better than anything else I have tried.

Congratulations! I'm sure your luck will change soon. You're an attorney now!
I agree about the babies... get a sitter, geez!
Sounds like a great time. :) As for the babies, I get wanting them there but it's not like they'll actually remember watching their parent take his or her oath. Geez! Why not just leave them at the hotel and then go out for a post-oath lunch with the baby and take pics there?
