Thursday

It's Thursday at 5, one more night of classes for the week.  By this point in the week I am beyond tired, almost floaty.  Somehow each week starts fresh, reading and briefs all done and I'm sure I'll survive this week intact.  And then by Thursday I'm right back here.  Hope springs eternal. 

on gel and air

So we're well into the first semester and hardly coming up for air.  My neck hurts from reading so much...who would ever have imagined.  Immersed in the law to the point that I sometimes forget that the rest of the world could care less about the topic.

Our class is beginning to gel into an identity, and I'm liking it.  We have the standard complement of odd ones, the ones you wonder why they are here, and everything in between.  But I'm learning to know and like them all.

away for the weekend

On the train, heading north.  Just like a little kid, excited and I want to do everything, and yet I am sleepy too.

Finished another week of classes, and still very interested.  I say that as if I’m surprised, but I’m not really.  I have always liked law, since I took Business Law in college.  Wonder where I’d be if I had gone to law school back then.  Woulda, shoulda, coulda…

Tonight was Torts.  I had  done all the reading, but had not briefed the cases, for some reason.  I thought I had them done, but clearly not.  I still remembered them and I talk too much in class anyway.  So not much chance of getting called on.  That’s mostly good, but so much for my plan to stop talking in class.  I don’t think I know how to do that.

*******************************

So it is not so easy to do my reading and briefing while visiting family-hard to stay at it.  Thursday night now and I am weary.  But I'll start the new week cycle again tomorrow night.  Also need to get ahead a bit, work on my outlines, study terms and elements and somewhere in there, pay bills, go to the store and have dinner with friends.  I sound like I'm whining, but I'm really not.  I only fear failure...or a C, which would be a disappointment at least.

annoyance

I am annoyed.  I am quite sure no one cares or would even be entertained but I still am annoyed.  I love, love, love the law and what I’m learning.  But that is not what class is about.  Perhaps I’ll learn some patience and humility from it.

On to more useful things…burglary
