super saiyajin 3

Well, I've passed the bar! This news comes a little late considering I found last friday, but I felt it's never too late to memorialize this feat. I was so nervous on friday and I couldn't concentrate on my work. I was in the courtroom assisting my judge when I realized it turned 4:30. I was planning to go home to check it, but I couldn't help myself and ran upstairs to chambers to check. And lo and behold, I passed!

Enjoyed some with my dad on friday night.

The judge ended up stopping trial to announce to everyone that I passed, which was a little embarrassing, but I was too happy to care.

That morning, my district leader came and chanted with me. Bar prep started with daimoku with my previous district leader, and the bar ended with daimoku. 

I feel a huge weight has lifted off my shoulder. My swearing-in ceremony will be held in mid-December, and at that time, I will officially become a lawyer! It seems somewhat surreal, but no matter how many times I try and doubt myself, I made it! My last big push in this series of events is to find a permanent job starting next year.

While I'm happy, I'm more appreciative for all the support more than anything. In any case, I've finally made the transition from super saiyajin 2 to super saiyajin 3 (the gold and long hair). I don't know I have to do in order to become super saiyajin 4, but super monkey mode comes before super saiyajin 4 anyway.
