disposable cameras and dress up

For my law school graduation, Dustin thought it would be fun to buy a bunch of fun dress up stuff and have it sitting on a table for everyone to wear around all day (I was obviously princess Rebeka J.D. in my tiara all day!). I loved it! Such a great idea!

In my mind, you cannot have a dress up table without some cameras to capture all the awesomeness, so on our night before graduation trip to Target to buy my dad a polo shirt, I grabbed some disposable cameras. Middle school style!

Let me tell you, the pictures turned out awesome! I loved all the disposable camera fun (and seeing all the pictures other people had taken):

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: such a good day!

I graduated (FINALLY)!

This last weekend I added some letters to my name. You may now all refer to me as:

Rebeka Ann Osborne J.D.

If you don’t catch my drift, I graduated from law school on Saturday. Finally.

THIS IS A HOUSE OF LEARNED DOCTORS! (name that movie)

It has been a crazy couple of weeks with finals, then graduation and all those people here for all those days (ok really only 2 but you know how it goes). I’ve been so tired for so long. But really, I don’t mean to sound like a complainer, because Saturday was so amazing.

It was amazing mostly because: (1) I got to wear a tiara all day (after I took off my silly cap and heavy gown and doctoral hood, of course) (thank you Dustin for my BEAUTIFUL headwear), (2) some of my favorite people came over/all the way up to Seattle to help me celebrate/dance around with me, and (3) it was sunny and happy outside and everyone paid all of their attention to me *wink*

Most all of the pictures on my camera are really crappy (if you took good pictures of graduation day, will you please send them to me?) but I do have some pictures from the disposable cameras that I still need to go through… those will come later. Oh and if you follow me (rebekaann) or Marissa (themagpie) or Beth (missbethann) on the IG you can see pictures there too!!

For now though, all the good(ish) digi cam pix:

 

 Yeah, that night all the “kids” went to Earl’s. And I wore my tiara. AND I got a free drank from the bartender. AND we danced to drop it low!

Really though, thanks to all my favorite people for making my graduation day so, so special! I love you all!

nearing the end. THE END, YOU GUYS!

I just had an epiphany, and it might sound a little silly once you hear it, but I’m going to tell you anyway: one week from tomorrow, I’ll be done with class… forever! (I guess I’ll still have bar prep for a few months this summer but I don’t think that counts as school class, you know?)

It’s weird to think about. I have been in school since I was 4 years old. I’m 25 now. 21 years of my life I have been in school, full time. It’s all I’ve ever done. And in a week (+2 weeks of finals) I’ll be done with school, forever. I’ll be receiving a doctorate on May 12th! It’s crazy. How did this happen so fast? In just a few weeks I’ll be: Rebeka Osborne, J.D. – that’s what’s up.

I don’t know why this is just all hitting me now. Probably because I have the 3L-itis, bad. I am lacking the motivation to get me through the end, and I need something, anything to look forward to. I guess the end is that thing.

So, hopefully, the nostalgic value of the fact that I only have 5 more days of class after today will keep me going. Right?

I’m so excited for myself.

I don’t know if you’re supposed to say things like that on the internet, or if that makes me sound like a d-bag, but it’s true. I’m excited.

Bring on the lady suits!
