Getting there...

So, the reading list posted. And guess what? I haven't picked up a book yet. Mostly because one of my professors list wasn't included, and the other two I'm waiting on books for. My first assignment? Read a book and bring it to class. Wow, it's a total mind f*ck. You mean I get to pick ANY book and just...read it? Where's all the briefing, etc?! Anyway, I picked Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer. Mostly because I loved Into Thin Air and Into the Wild, and Krakauer's books are both interesting and somewhat educational. I know that fundamentalism is a hot topic, but I thought I would do well to pick something outside of my comfort zone.

Other than that, I've been spending my time getting organized and ready. My desk is looking good, my supplies are all ready to go, and as soon as I get the rest of my house cleaned (Monday) I'll feel like I'm good to go.

I'm taking my Momma and K to the support person orientation Saturday so they know what to expect from me (I'm not even sure what to expect), and they seem pretty excited. Although K is pretty solid on being supportive on whatever I need...he's not really a clinger what so ever, and has no problem going without me for a bit. I feel like we're solid, and that's a load off of my mind. Saturday night is the awesome moratorium party that we're throwing as a "have fun in law school" kind of thing. Other than that, this post completely made me laugh today, and realize that when I was talking myself down from demanding orientation dates, it was a really good thing. I'm glad I never became that girl.Or any other variations of the crazies that I read about on the blawgs.

Next weekend is orientation, good thing there's plenty of advice on that around. Here.  Here (plus the other 4 parts). As well as in an assortment of other awesome blawgs. It's times like these I'm really thankful there are other blawgs out there to tell me what to expect. :)
