Congratulations on your acceptance. I think you may need to get a Calabash upon your graduation.
They are just so sophisticated!
New take on an old classic

jessicac:
Perhaps, upon graduation, you and newbroom's daughter could team-up to form a law practice? My eldest brother's son is just finishing his first year at the University of Connecticut's School of Law, and plans to practice in the international arena upon graduation.

You probably have, but if not, check out Scott Turow's book One L.
From his website -
Published by Penguin, December, 2010
Paperback, 304 pages, ISBN:9780143119029
One L, Scott Turow's journal of his first year at law school and a best-seller when it was first published in 1977, has gone on to become a virtual bible for prospective law students. Not only does it introduce with remarkable clarity the ideas and issues that are the stuff of legal education; it brings alive the anxiety and competitiveness — with others and, even more, with oneself — that set the tone in this crucible of character building. Turow's multidimensional delving into his protagonists' psyches and his marvelous gift for suspense prefigure the achievements of his celebrated first novel, Presumed Innocent, one of the best-selling and most talked about books of 1987.
Each September, a new crop of students enter Harvard Law School to begin an intense, often grueling, sometimes harrowing year of introduction to the law. Turow's group of One Ls are fresh, bright, ambitious, and more than a little daunting. Even more impressive are the faculty: Perini, the dazzling, combative professor of contracts, who presents himself as the students' antagonist in their struggle to master his subject; Zechman, the reserved professor of torts who seems so indecisive the students fear he cannot teach; and Nicky Morris, a young, appealing man who stresses the humanistic aspects of law.
In the new afterword for this edition of One L, the author looks back on law school from the perspective of ten years' work as a lawyer and offers some suggestions for reforming legal education.

That's an interesting compliment for a girl, but, I'll take it as such. She's a very special individual with an amazing creativity and optimism, to go with her intelligence, humor and radiance.
Hey, handsome is gender neutral. 
But yeah newbroom, good on her. Your daughter can be a role model for us first years to look up to.
The calabash is a good idea, I think I might look into one once I pass the bar.
And thanks for the Turow headsup, I've got a couple of months before classes, so there's plenty of time to enjoy my freedom.

Handsome in Cajun language is a good thing, I see character in her face, pretty doesn't mean nothing in my book. You can see the love she has for you in that picture, and the smarts. It's a high Cajun compliment.
Here's a pic taken of 'the kid' a few months ago. She's living in Alaska.
This picture shows ME some independent self assurance shining through.
I will ask.
I've 'bumped' this thread based on the bragging portion of the Title.
My daughter celebrated her 28th birthday yesterday with the arrival of the news that she'd passed the bar exam in Alaska!
She had to wait a month for results...and obviously had to experience a bit of anxiety. You have to spend money to take these bar exams and you surely don't want to have to take it repeatedly.
This her second State Bar exam success since she graduated in June of 2013. I thought she'd taken one in PA but they recognized IL's.
