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.
