The Beginning of the End... Of Law School

Here is my schedule for this (final) semester:

Monday:
1:30-2:30 - Wills and Trusts
Tuesday:
Nothing!
Wednesday:
9:10-10:10 - Jurisprudence
10:20-11:20 - Constitutional Law Seminar (First Amendment)
1:30-2:30 - Wills and Trusts
Thursday:
10:20-12:20 - Jurisprudence
3:50-5:50 - Current Constitutional Issues
Friday:
10:20-11:20 - Constitutional Law Seminar (First Amendment)
1:30-2:30 - Wills and Trusts

Three of my four classes are 'paper' classes, so I will only be taking one exam (Wills and Trusts) in the spring. In addition, the 'Current Constitutional Issues' class is taught by our beloved Dean Starr (I wanted to take another Con. Law class and figured that I might as well). The classes have been fine so far. I did get called on during Wednesday's Wills and Trusts class, but at least I was prepared and will be 'safe' in that class for a while.

On Saturday, my family and I went up to Atascadero for a second-cousin's wedding. Since I thought that I might need to leave early, I took a separate car for the long drive. However, I ended up staying longer than I thought I would be able to. The wedding was outdoors; fortunately, the weather was nice and clear. Also, the reception was pretty fun, and I enjoyed myself.

I didn't do that much today, although I did end up going out with my roommate and some of her friends later in the evening.

Yes, I've Been Busy

Wednesday

Updates and Thoughts

Well, I am now a week into my final year of college. It's sort of scary knowing that I will have to make a definite decision as to where I'm going in the next year, and it doesn't seem possible that my college years are coming to a close. It's something that you know will eventually come up; still, part of me can't conceptualize making the change and taking concrete steps towars a possible future. It's something I know I have to do of course, but making this sort of decision has never been a strong suit of mine.

It's been great being back at school and running into all the familiar faces there. It's weird not seeing some of the people, though; I keep wondering about random people and have to remind myself that they've moved on now. My new dorm room is great; it's HUGE and is right by the front entrance. Unfortunately, there isn't any storage space, so I had to buy a bunch of plastic bins to make up for that. It also doesn't have a built in closet, and the metal closet that the school provides isn't very good, so I'll have to see if I can find a cheap replacement.
