Graduate - in May?!?!

So yesterday while at work I was looking at where I am credit wise, and what I need to do in order to graduate Dec 2013, which is my goal, and would be 3.5 years - or a full semester early for the part time program. Then I really started looking at it and realized that if I keep my current plan of 3 summer classes and intersession, and find a way to go full time and get an externship plus to do winter intersession - I will be a May graduate! Basically this means I'd have to take a lot more student loans and cut my hours down at work pretty severely. I don't know how my boss is going to feel about that, and I have no idea how it will work with the MPRE, my AWR and a full time class load and externship in the fall. I'm a little concerned about it, but am hoping to figure it out for the best. In the end, it would end up actually costing me ~$300 more, and that doesn't figure in the extra summer session that I would have to do as well as intersessions. So, I'm thinking about talking to my boss and seeing what I can do. It wouldn't be terrible to break my lease and move home for a year or so maybe (okay - who am I kidding that would be the WORST), but there are some plans in the works.

Things are going pretty well other than that. I'm not stressed at all about finals this semester, and am doing pretty well. I had Property 2 last night and didn't have any issues. I've done pretty much every torts MBE and Essay I can get my hands on and seem to be doing well. I start Con Law studying on Thursday. And I'm getting my first tattoo on Friday! I can't wait - I am really really stoked about it. This semester has been different - I don't feel stress to cram it all in at the last second. I feel prepared, and like I've done what I've needed to do in order to succeed, at both the midterm and final level. I'm hoping for really good grades this semester.

Other than that I'm glad that our track is kind of splitting off and going our separate ways now. People lie and talk and are generally mean to each other in law school - and I don't want to surround myself with those kind of people. I have good people in my life and that's how I want it to stay from now on. There's been too much garbage in the past.

That's my update. I'll post more when I know what I'm doing and when I'm graduating. Until then, adieu!
