It is January. The fall semester flew by fast. Near the end it was just a whirl of exams, papers, and course outlines. All in all I faired well last semester. I did well in all my classes, which is good because that is what admissions will use to determine if I will be accepted in the JD program next year. That’s right, I am a glutton for punishment. I actually want to do this for three more years.
I am taking 5 classes this semester, so I am sure this semester will be a butt kicker as well. The first week was a little rough – adding courses, dropping courses, trying to get a seat in Watersheds, which, by the way, is still packed. Today there were 5 students sitting in chairs borrowed from another classroom taking notes on their laps. Today is the last day for drop/add and there were students in that class that were still on the waiting list.
The best part of starting a new semester is that I had three weeks of break prior. I had the best time. My husband and I stayed here over the break because he had to work. I on the other hand had nothing to do. I was one lazy person. I slept in, drank too much, and watch crap on TV. I also finally had a chance to get the house cleaned up and make a real dinner every night. No more cereal for dinner!! My brain and my body really needed the chance to rejuvenate.
Now that classes have started back, winter has finally decided to show up. It is damn cold today. I woke up this morning and it was –5 degrees. I still think the temperature is right around zero. I called my friends back home (in the warm south) to tell them and they just laughed. At least there is snow on the ground so I don’t mind the cold that much. I just hate it when it is cold and there is no snow.
Happy New Year everyone!
