Of the North
For all those wondering, I managed to finish law school a semester early. This took a slavish devotion to the 17 hours of classes I took this semester and the 50-odd hours of reading that accompanied them.
On top of this I worked for 15-20 hours at the Missouri Attorney General’s office. I worked on prosecuting cases of discrimination for the department assigned to the Missouri Human Rights Commission.
Immediately following my six finals, I loaded up the car and drove across Missouri, visiting my Grandmother in Jefferson City and my Mother in Nevada. From there, I raced an ice storm to Kansas City where I attended the wedding of Josh and Susie.
As soon as the roads thawed, I raced back to St. Louis, cleaned the apartment and had a tearful farewell with JennyR and I began the long trek to Canada.
Crossing the border was uneventful. I received a 6-month visitors pass. Registering Pop’s heirloom was actually the most difficult part of the crossing. No one knew whether I needed to register it or not. Finally they decided to register it simply because I already filled out the paper work.
My arrival coincided with Xmas. Amy made a great dinner of gourmet ham and herb roasted potatoes.
To come, the madatory visit to IKEA.
