Last Day of the Beginning

wow...that title sounds like the line to some cool novel...ok...maybe not a cool novel, but one of those popular trashy ones snubbed by literary elitists (you know who you are)...haha...anyway...today was the last day of my first year at law school...it was kind of anti-climactic for me....the weather was fitting though...it poured torrentially on my first day of school...and it was equally dismal and rainy today...so i guess we've come full circle...

we also got our t-shirts today...i'm happy with em...in case you don't know what i'm talkin about - i had this idea a while ago to take our professor's heads and superimpose 'em on the Incredibles action figures...what ended up was hilarious...my friend jen hooked me up with some clean up of the picture and addition of background themes for our section...shes awesome with that stuff...so yeah...we're handing 'em today and prof shipley walks in to claim his...and he notices that all the girl's shirts are too small and he makes a crack on lauren - that it should be fine for her cuz she likes wearing those kind of shirts....OMG!! i was rockin that was so funny...lauren was aghast...but took it in good stride...vied to get back at him and all....

i also found out what i'm registering for in the fall...constitutional law...trusts & estates...healthcare survey...copyright law...law and information age...to all my non-law school friends - you can wake up now...at least i'll be takin these classes with my friends so it won't be too bad...healthcare and info age should be interesting....

so looking back on the first year...here are some things that i've learned / observed / whatever:
- law school is really high school, but harder.
- you will hear at least 3 fake stories about people in your class sleeping with other people in your class, and never find out who the source of this info is...
- the scariest professors are the ones that give you a run for your money. take them.
- make a strong group of friends - they'll be the one thing you look forward to every day even if you get slapped with a 50 page assignment and don't know what the hell to write about on your memo.
- enjoy your time cuz you'll be out in the real world before you know it
- i'm not going to write anymore of these stupid points because the pressure of making them sound interesting is quite tiring.

anyway...the first year was cool...now that i'm moving in with some friends..the next two years will be better i hope...unless goose and shawn turn out to be the room-mates from hell...now i'm just lookin forward to the summer...i've got a cool job lined up...have tons of things i want to do with hema...my grandparents are back and it will be fun to swap crim law stories w/ my grandfather - a former criminal law judge in africa...only thing sux is that my bro will be off to that hell-hole called hawaii...poor guy...i pity him.

well...i'll probably update soon...but exams are up next...so as coenen would say - "you must bear down haaaaaard!!"

g nite.
