Back to School

Today was our first day of law school. Classes officially start next week, but we are getting ourselves oriented this week. My first thought is law school is a lot like high school, although it does have one big advantage: School sanctioned drinking. Anyway, we got our locker assignments, dropped a grand on books and had some free food and drinks.

We also had to listen to several inane questions that could have easily been found by looking through the plethora of papers they had given us. You’re a law student, do a little research.

We also got our schedules today. And it is no joke they I got the WORST schedule possible. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have 4 back to back classes. One in the only classroom that doesn’t have outlets and my battery won’t last for two hours. Thus I have to take notes by hand. Then on Wed I have one class at 8:00 am and one at 3:00pm. I wish I could move one of my TTh classes to MW.

All around me I listened to kids excited about how they had such a great schedule, 3 day weekends, no classes before nine and I had to wonder who did I piss off. His and I have completely opposite schedules. The days that I don’t have an 8:00am class he does. No sleeping in for us.

But other than all of that, I’m still looking forward to the first day of class. I’m off to read our assignment for tomorrow.
