Tonight I'm going to my first law school "bar review." (No, not the kind everyone is complaining about. The other kind.) I'm tempted to stay home; I'm not much of a bar person, and I fear everyone will be loud and manicured and I'll have the urge to turn around and run right out of there. But I should go. Overcome my social anxiety, and meet a few people before school starts.
It occurs to me that I'm not going to be anonymous for much longer. If any of my classmates stumbles across my blog, or happens to read it already, it'll be pretty obvious who I am. I have no idea how that will affect my blogging habits come September. It will be very weird to know that people I go to school with might be reading this, AND they might know I'm writing it, but I won't know they're reading. Faculty members might even come across this blog, depending on how web-savvy they are (and whether they care about what the students think).
I'm still not planning to reveal my super-secret identity; I don't want to be Googleable. But I'm wondering whether I made the right move by revealing my school.
Then again, what do I have to hide? So everyone will know what books I read and that I like to write stories about eggs. So what? It's not like I write anything particularly damning or embarrassing here. (Well... maybe some things.)
Still, I have a feeling I'll be self-censoring a lot more soon.
