Post-Bar To-Do List

In a shameless ripoff another Boalt blogger, I present a list of things I intend to do post-bar, in no particular order. The comprehensive list at Cause and Defect is better (and obviously more original) than my own. Next week can’t come soon enough.

1. Spend Macy’s gift cards that are last vestige of “free LexisNexis” halcyon days.
2. Read something with pictures in it.
3. See Simpsons movie; rekindle old love; vow to stage “favorite episodes” marathon; never actually do it.
4. Wake up in cold sweat, panicky about forgetting “cy pres” doctrine; realize it will never matter again; take deep breath.
5. Watch Nancy Grace; work self into angry fervor; despair at prospect of her procreation.
6. Bask in sun at Lake Tahoe; try not to think about easements in gross.
7. Stop obsessively reading “contracts” entered into with parking garages by pushing green button.
8. Watch ‘Entourage’ DVDs; try not to compare own career arc to that of Vincent Chase.
9. Begin “dry clean” era of laundering everyday wardrobe; ruefully watch jeans collection gather dust.
10. Let @berkeley.edu email account expire; kick self for not copying address book in time.
11. Witness advent of David Beckham era of American soccer; try not to compare own career arc to that of Becks.
12. Try to come up with use for self-made Bar/Bri flash cards; realize there is none; chuck in trash; fall to knees; scramble to collect scattered, soiled cards from trash in contingency for crippling bad news in November.
13. Listen to new(ish) albums by Interpol, T.I., White Stripes; pretend I was down from day one.
14. “I do love scotch. Scotchy-scotch-scotch. Theeeeere it goes, down into my belly.”
15. Watch ‘Bronx is Burning;’ revel in idle disappointment.
16. Order diploma from school; receive diploma; let diploma collect dust on office floor as it waits to be hung up.
17. Consider skipping country to dodge payment of student loans; reconsider, given poor quality of public restrooms abroad.
18. Pass by dreadlocked-beard-guy sitting on sidewalk one final time; pretend to be happy to never see him again; walk away stoically as single tear rolls down cheek.
19. “Conviser Mini-Review, meet Mr. Bonfire.”
20. Play. Station. 3.
