Year 2

Hard to imagine that I still have 3 more years of law school. One year down, plus a summer of classes. The 3 years ahead stretch out interminably, but I know how fast this last year went.

Evidence, Civil Procedure and Real Property on the horizon. One week off, between finals and the start of the new year. I will spend it reading for the new classes, of course. Time off is an illusion, at least until after the Bar exam.

It will be interesting to see the make up of our class next week. We have lost so many from the 20 that began, and it saddens me. The interplay between the various class mates, and the personalities, particularly of the more outspoken, served to enrich and expand our experience this past year. We will gain those who just completed their 1st year classes over the summer, and then in a few weeks, we will lose a few of them, when grades come out for the semester just ended. As the advice goes at this juncture-wait to befriend any of the new ones, some of them will be suddenly gone in 3 or 4 weeks. But of course, I'll find that advice hard to heed. I am more social than I ever realized before.

While I too await grades from my summer classes, I do not have to worry about being ADQ'd from them, just because I have already passed the first year. Two of the three are pass/fail, and do not affect my GPA. I do not have high hopes for my Crim Pro grade, but I hope to at least pass.

It's a roller coaster ride, and sometimes I get anxious about what the next turn will bring.
