I am just so touched that I had to share this.
A few days ago, I had to rush to the emergency room, due to the development of an extremely large and painful incarcerated hernia. This was actually right after President Obama's victory speech, which was a small consolation as I dealt with ridiculous amounts of pain. I stayed two days in the hospital, getting surgery and recovering, with a ridiculously large suture now traveling up my stomach.
Then I needed to go home, but though I had barely managed to drive myself there, I needed someone to drive me home. The painkillers they prescribed for me are narcotics and I have very limited range of motion for a few days. Two of my classmates - I am in law school, my first year of law school, I have only known these people for a few months - picked me up and took me back home, graciously stopping along the way for me to get groceries.
And by 'get groceries', I mean I was told I would stay in the car while they got the groceries for me, because they didn't want me moving. They helped me home, they brought my car back, and took one look at my bachelor pad and decided that I was not going to be subsisting on a cereal, fruit, and yogurt diet, as is my wont to do.
I just had one classmate march in here and lay out a schedule she had developed with several of my other classmates, after looking up recommended nutritional needs for my recovery. I am going to be having people marching in and out of my apartment, cooking for me, when I barely even cook for myself. They're also recording the classes I'm missing, and stuff.
And I've barely known these people for three months. I'm just very overwhelmed with the level of kindness right now. I have the best classmates in the world. We'll be thoroughly blessed to have all of these wonderful people in the legal profession within the next few years.
