What are you up to? I see that you went to UVA, which is an awesome school.

First year associate at a firm in DC. UVA was great, but graduation wasn't much of a relief knowing that the bar was right around the corner. Then finishing the bar wasn't much of a relief since you don't know if you passed. But the day I found out I had passed was a great one.
I hear you about living in a medium-sized market and being able to buy a nice house and not have a bad commute. The decision to come back to DC was a tough one with offers in other cities like Denver and Charlotte.
