OK, I've so far only survived my first class. But it was pretty painless, though maybe that's because he didn't call on me.
Law school really is unlike anything I've ever done before. Certainly it's nothing like the coddled education program I was in at Just Shoot Me University. He calls on people and expects brilliance right on the spot and right in the first five minutes of class. I think of myself as rather bold and a quick thinker, but I was trying to blend right into the woodwork. It was intense. But now I know how to better prepare. I really will be a much better thinker after this year, and certainly after three years.
So, maybe it's a good thing I wasn't excited before it began - I couldn't lose the thrill of anticipation by having to wait too long.
Would I rather be swinging a hammer with my peeps? Sure, but Team 'Wood is all disbanded already anyway.
So, now I'm off to type up class notes and then do Wednesday's reading for this class. There's almost five hours between my first and second class, so I can lots of work done. Then there's an informational meeting about several 'societies' I think I'll participate in.
And so it goes, and I hit the ground running.

Yay! Happy back to school! Sounds like it could be pretty intense...but I'm sure you're up for it.
Be sure to schedule some zydeco in there on the weekends!
"And so it goes, and I hit the ground running."...just as us Virgos do!^_^
I wasn't ready for school to begin yet, but walking in my classroom and seeing the desks every which way got me moving furniture around, setting up new computer toys, and I'm tying up my shoelaces to run!
Now, if I can just find me some pupusas to fuel me up...I've been craving them lorocos for a while, hee hee hee...^_^
