1. I made it. After three years of studies I was awarded the degree of Juris Doctorate. If I ever teach at an institution of higher learning the students should refer to me as Dr. Scott. Weird thought I know. but fun to think about. The law makes for a very jealous mistress so uninhibited law thoughts will be popping up.
2. I still remember those awkward years of Jr. High. Several of the girls told people that my body odor was less than acceptable. To them I say its Dr. Stinky to you and be grateful the statute of limitation has passed or the term intentional infliction of emotional distress would make a great cause of action.
3. School ended Friday for the kids. They miss school already and the food bill has jumped enormously with them at home all day. Here is a photo of the last day. Strange fact about Iowa, they enacted law from a conservative governor and legislature more money to the school system through legislation.
4. I begin the process of studying for the Bar Exam offered at the end of July. It becomes a three year review of law school and tested in three days. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Went to see Jed's Doctor on Friday. His bone appears to be regrowing. It is hard to determine based on the x-rays, but the doctor says so. The med mal claims keeps being mentioned by his doctor, I wonder if I intimidate.
6. Things I will miss about law school _________________________________. Yeah couldn't think of a whole lot. Secured Transactions and Conflicts are tested on the bar.
7. I will miss winter driving in Iowa. Who would have thought I drive better in the snow and ice than the natives. Traffic offenses in Iowa are misdemeanors. Some offenses require mandatory jail time.
8. As Vin Scully would say, "And whats interesting to note here," Karen got a bike to ride. Its awesome to see her lead the kids on expeditions all over the corn countryside. There are several recreation trails through out central Iowa. Which reminds me, I wonder who pays for the easements.
9. My closest law school friend left for Utah. I love to kid him about hiding behind the Zion Curtain. He moved all his stuff in a horse trailer. Yeah I still prefer the Penske.
10. A special shout out to my wife. When we prayed about this decision in March of 2010 she stated in tears that we should attend law school. She is the best ever. We are poor but not neglected. We try to be humble by receiving many challenges. Through it all my wife has stood tall in all the storms as beacon for a family. She is the most awesome person I know. Here's to Karen the best of all the class of '98. I love you.

It's always nice to hear a husband recognize all the wife has done to make education/career a possibility and success. Congrats on a great accomplishment, Chris! Good luck with the bar. My dad has told me way too many stories about it to ever entice me into that profession. :)
