BOOKS !

My books arrived Thursday night. I waited until the kids were in bed, then pounced. Ahhhh - fresh ink. The smell of newly minted, newly shipped pages.

My husband joked "ok, well that's the last I see of you until April '011" I told him "try August - the bar's in July." He looked slightly horrified.

So...I'm reading ahead. I'm sure I'm not the only one. And, as I surmised, contracts is going to kick my butt. The English slang for study - "swot" - describes exactly what its going to be like to study for this class.

Criminal - not hard. A lot of detail. A lot of vocab. But definitely not hard. Torts - again, a lot of vocab, and a lot of picking apart detail. A lot of analysis and classification. Big deal - been there done that, for 3 years of grad school. Contracts - a lot of specific, nit-picky detail. A lot of exceptions to the generalizations. A lot of tiny, important details. Yep, its definitely going to require a lot of extra time and work.

Agh! But at least it's here. I'm ready for it. Bring it on. T-minus 2 weeks.

~ Two Weeks

In about 2 weeks I will be a 1L.

AGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ok, I'm feeling better (NOT!!)

I'm still waiting for the booklist. If it doesn't post soon, I'm going to be calling Concord and letting them know that it needs to be posted soonest!!!

I'm also thinking about going out to Cafe Press and creating a t-shirt that says "Don't ask me....I'm just a 1L - Concord Class of 2011." with a really cool graphic and letting other people in my cohort know about them.

Just a thought. I'm excited about starting school - as if you couldn't tell (hah!)

T-minus 18 days 18 hours.
