About the Countdown

As you may have noticed, there is a giant "countdown" clock at the top of the blog's first page.  If you were bored enough, you may have calculated the "end" time to be August 15, 2012.  I arbitrarily picked this date as the last day of my clerkship.  I officially started on September 3rd.  My clerkship is for 2 years.  However, I expect that my next job will start in the Fall 2012 and that I will want some time off before going back to Chicago.  So in theory, my last day could be anytime in June, July, or August.  For now, I picked August 15 as a nice round number.
