| in the end |

I complain a lot, but I'm not really worried about the future. I know everything will work out. That's because everything always works out, in the end. I think back to all those things in my life that really didn't go the way I wanted them to go. Sure I didn't get into MIT, which seemed kinda bad at the time, but I ended up going to a different school and having a (moderately) successful career, so I guess it all worked out. Or when that girl broke up with me, it seemed like a big deal at the time, but I moved on and ended up dating someone else, so it all worked out in the end.
Of course, one of the reasons everything seems to work out is that you only get to live life once, you can never compare what is with what could have been. Where would I be in life today if I had gotten into MIT? If that girl hadn't broken up with me? If I had been able to get a job in San Francisco after graduating Berkeley? Who knows? Maybe I'd be saying to people, "boy am I glad I got into MIT, who knows where I would have ended up otherwise?" Or if I didn't get into the schools I did get into, I'd be saying, "Well, I didn't get into Georgetown Law, but I got into XXX and everything worked out in the end anyway." So yeah, I'm not worried about the future because I know everything is going to work out in the end. There isn't anyway it can't.
In other news, I handed in a mammoth paper for class today. Over 200 footnotes and not a one cited a case. This is the 2nd paper I've written for a law school class that didn't cite any case law. I think maybe I'm doing this wrong. |
