When There's Nothing to Give, How Can You Ask for More?
Since the graduation-type thing is still a week and a half away, I guess today is not technically the end of the law school journey, but the last day of class sure feels like a momentous occasion.
I went back and read my post from the first evening after classes begin in August '06, and I must say, it feels like that scene from the "Why We Fight" episode in Band of Brothers where Sergeant Perconte is talking to Private O'Keefe during their shift at a roadside checkpoint.
Private O'Keefe is fresh off of a transport ship from England. He's excited to be a part of the mission, and all he wants to do is kill some Germans. Private O'Keefe, I would like to introduce to Justin Scott-circa August 2006.
Sergeant Perconte is a little less enthused to be there in Germany, to say the least. Perconte's been in the service for 3 years, and the prospect of the mission has lost a significant part of its luster. More than anything, Sgt. Perconte wants a hot shower, hot chow, and a trip home.
Sgt. Perconte, I believe you recognize Justin Scott-circa April 2009.Labels: Band of Brothers, Law school

Very appropriate analogy. Congrats.
it might seem like a long three years to you but it has flown by for me. guess time flys the older you get. dad
I'm interested to see if you'll post some law school experience thoughts. I think I will. I have a week of class left, though.
Congrats Justin! Joey, I have another week like you...can't get any motivation.
Ben,
It's good to hear from you all the way over in Macon. What are your plans after graduation?
I am headed back to Abilene, actually. My wife and I bought a house and she is already back there working and settling in. What are your plans? By the way, I will take BARBRI in Austin, where will you be?
Ben,
I'm going to be working for a firm in Houston and taking BARBRI there as well.
A return to the Key City? Can we say: Future GSP sponsor?
