I Was Free

Friday I finished my last final and while studying for all my finals I thought of all the things I would do once I didn't have finals. I had visions of greatness for the two days I had before I started law clerking full time...visions of reading long novels, learning French, sleeping 16 hours a day, buying chocolates, even cleaning my room. But these dreams haven't manifested into reality. I did however manage to read one book, eat french fries, sleep 5 hours a night, get sun burnt, climb a fence, and smile so much that my laugh lines hurt. Now once again I am a slave as my weekend of carelessness has vanished and I must drive to work everyday like a responsible law clerk and take law school summer classes. The shackles have returned.
