I'm Sworn In and Licensed--Ready To Go!

It's official--I'm a lawyer now. I got my temporary license in April, was sworn in a few weeks ago, and now I am a real attorney. Do I feel like a real attorney? I have to admit--no. I am not sure why. Maybe I am still shell shocked from learning that I passed the bar. Maybe I am still exhausted from almost five years of no sleep. Maybe because I am still in business and not working in a law firm with other attorneys. Am I thrilled? Absolutely. I am proud of my accomplishment and would do it again in a split second. As much as I wanted to go to law school and as much as I went through to get to the finish line, I know it was the right thing for me to do.
