Law School!

Yay! It's finally here. Umm, this is gonna be short, cuz well, I'm in my first year of law school. It's been an interesting week. Last week was "orientation," which basically means here's the books, here's the school, go out and meet eachother 5 nights in a row, and give me $800 for your books. Yeah, it's as draining as you might think, especially the last part! Oh, I almost forgot the best part, "we know you're not in classes yet but here's a boatload of homework, happy Labor Day." Yeah, that last one taught me about a legal sense of timing and that lawyers don't necessarily get days off, first lesson.

I have a locker, yep I have a locker. I have a section, 90 people that I see all day, every day. Oh, we stay in the same room all day, but sometimes we switch seats. Makes it more interesting. So, it's a lot like high school, except this time I don't know most of the answers and I actually did my homework, go figure.

The books are heavy and the reading is dense. But, I'm not lost or overwhelmed, yet, so that's good. Obviously a lot is new, but a couple things are especially new. In acting school, I had a journal, here I have a laptop and I type my notes. That takes some getting used to. In high school, you pass notes, here you IM :-) In all school(well maybe not acting school), you raise your hand, here the professor raises your hand for you...the whole class period...just you...yep that's how it goes; sounds fun, right?

I am learning a lot, a lot, and it's only the second day. I'm very engaged, and I can't wait to do my assignments or get to class. I know, I'm a big dork and we'll see how long this lasts. Hope all are well. I have to go edit some sentences(writing class) and study principles of punishment(dog training...er criminal law).
