So what have I been up to in May? A lot of celebrating! I finished law school and am officially, Kristin Yahnke, J.D. :) The last three years went by so fast! I can not say enough great things about the University of St. Thomas School of Law. It was the most amazing experience and I made the best of friends.
Tyler was gone turkey hunting for most of the week that I finished. He was on break after his finals (I'm sure he will have a post about this later) and he is now officially a D4 - 4th year dental student. Although I missed him, it gave me a quiet house to study for my last finals. Some of my classmates and I finished our last final EVER by 10:30 a.m. on a Wednesday morning and felt that celebratory drinks were in order. We headed over to Eli's and enjoyed some bloody marys. Afterwards, I headed home to tidy up a little before some of my high school friends arrived. My friend, Sara, had arranged a girls night out to the Twins game and we decided to make fajitas at my place first. Marie and Britt also surprised me with champagne to celebrate me being done FINALLY!
I know this isn't the best picture but it was the only one I had of all of us :) We had so much fun and definitely need to plan more nights like this!
Thursday morning I had to run errands and get my mother's day shopping done. Thursday was the last day for finals so after everyone who still had exams finished, we met up on Brits rooftop for some afternoon drinking. We lucked out with gorgeous weather. This was the same place we first went for drinks at the beginning of law school three years ago :)
After spending the afternoon at Brits, we headed to News Room for dinner and ended the night at Barrio. The next morning, Shorty, Kinz, Jenny, and I met to pamper ourselves. We got our nails done for graduation. Tyler also spoiled me by arranging a couple's massage that afternoon. A girl could get used to this kind of treatment :)
My school rented out the second floor of Stella's in uptown for Friday night so there was more food, drinks and celebrating for the class of 2012. I was very glad that graduation wasn't until 1pm so I could sleep in the next morning. Celebrating is exhausting! I woke up to a surprise from my amazing husband: Bagels and coffee, a beautiful orchid (hopefully I can keep it alive) and a gorgeous watch! He has set pretty high standards for me next year when we celebrate his graduation from Dental School.
Tyler wanted to write the post from my actual graduation so I will leave that for him. But, for those of you who keep asking me, "what are you going to do with all your time off?" Here is your answer:
I am going to memorize ALL of this in the next two months. Starting Monday, the celebrating is over and the real studying begins.
