School's out for summer!

Okay well only kind of. I had two summer classes, one I loved and one I despised. I'm just glad that they're both over. I start intersession classes next week, and have two a day for two weeks...then a vacation to cooler weather, three days off, and fall semester starts!

It's been a crazy insane summer, but I am finally all moved, loving the new place and life, and I am happy. I think some things need to clear up in one area of my life, but once they do, I think things will be much much better. I'm really excited for what's in store!

Stress + Moving + Papers + Finals

Summer school is in it's last week and a half (thank god!), and I'm really really excited that it's almost over. However, silly little me went and scheduled my big, but seriously awesome move, the weekend before finals. Now, that's not a huge deal because for one class I just have a group paper due next week, but I do have a Crim Pro final, which I am not looking forward to, in a week and a half. So that means in between boxes and unpacking, I'm going to have awesome boyfriend quizzing me on the 4th and 6th amendments. There's just a lot going on - and it seems like life is just always this hectic. Right after I move I have my two intersession classes, and then I fly to Idaho three hours after the last one ends. I have four days off when I get back before fall semester starts. And fall break is taken up by a seriously awesome trip.

So, I have all these amazing, happy, wonderful things coming up, but they're pretty stressful, and I'm looking for a moment to sit back and breathe, and to take it all in. I'm sure that I'll find it, but in the meantime, I'm hanging on and trying to enjoy the hell out of the really amazing ride.

Other than that things are status quo - I'm finally going to get an A in a law school class - YAY. I've been getting pretty much straight B's, which is good because that's above the curve, but I've always just really really wanted an A, and now that I know I'm going to get it? I am SO STOKED.

Lots of crazy things and big decisions being made in my personal life. Boyfriend and I are making some huge decisions about our future and life and living and what to do, and it's thrilling and exciting and terrifying all rolled into one. He's so good about understanding where I'm coming from though. Once again, I need to just hang in there and enjoy the ride.

I know that there's a whole class of new 1L's gearing up to enter law school, and I was thinking of what advice I would give them. I think that I would tell them that it gets easier. Don't expect to know anything or to 'get' anything at first - just hang in there and keep moving forward. You will get it eventually, and you will do well, just put the work in first. :)

That's what's going on right now. Good luck to the incoming classes!
