1 Down, 14 to go

That's what the flyers around school advertising a big law school party at a bar said. 1 down, 14 weeks to go. Well if we must count, we might as well start now :-)
Classes have finally started to ramp up and level off where the workload will not increase or decrease much over time. Not all of my classes as some are still slow and introductory, but we are starting to move quicker through material. I absolutely love everything so far which is a good thing. I'm also starting to think of ordinary everyday things in terms of what we are studying. AKA I am starting to think like a lawyer...scary! Well I think I'll be more detail oriented but big picture has helped get through the reading (knowing exactly what you are looking for to get out of the reading and identifying the main points early means you don't waste a bunch of time on more irrelevant stuff in the cases). Well what happened this week you ask?
Let's start with the schedule. That schedule I printed out of my weekly classes...let's just say it doesn't much apply anymore. Crandall changed our Contracts class from TWR 9-9:50 to Tuesday 8:45-10 and Thursday 9:30-11. Our Legal Research professor has rescheduled a few of our monday and thursday classes to Friday mornings at 9 (like today ugh!). The Torts mess sorted itself out as professor Northern is teaching classes each week on MTW or TWR (again, it changes from week to week and we just have to check the syllabus each week to know if we have class on certain days). Civ Pro and Crim Law are thankfully not changing, but everything else is a mess and will take getting used to. Just keep the syllabi close to know when I have class I guess. Torts is OK but prof Northern is my least favorite of the professors. Our new book rocks so far though, so much better than the book Chamallas had us in. Was not called on in class this week either, but it will happen eventually and I really don't care when as long as I am prepared for what we are talking about. So life is good in law school classes.
Figuring out what activities I will fill my spare time with, and I think it is narrowing nicely. Been to a lot of info sessions and still most interested in active participation this year in Law School Republicans and Christian Legal Society. Speaking of activities, met with Eric D. today (leader of my new bible study in XA) for lunch and we had a great discussion getting to know each other better. It should be a great year assuming our outreach to Steeb hall works. I'm excited about all of these activities this year and the issues I was working through a month ago are finally resolved. So we rock and roll on, poker get together and going out for a little drinking tonight. Fun times. Shep is coming with too since he's coming up and spending the night for tomorrow's PTQ.
Now the craziness. This weekend my old lease ends Saturday and the new lease begins Sunday. So Jon just showed up with friends and they will be moving out tomorrow morning (hopefully getting everything). Tom and Heather are starting to move in tomorrow, so this weekend will be crazy at the apartment. And Patrice has arranged for repair of our tub Monday or Tuesday...absolutely crazy times! So I'm getting the hell out since they all have friends and family coming up to help them move in and out. I don't want much to with this...get it done yourself! So going out tonight, PTQ in Columbus tomorrow, PTQ in Charleston Sunday. Avoiding all things moving!
So now I'm not lonely anymore. Hmmm...maybe I like being lonely.
Things between Kelley and I are working out for those who are curious. There are a lot of things I need to change about myself and I have big goals I am striving for personally. I might put them on here later, but right now I'm a little busy to go into much detail. We are reconnecting through conversation right now...and making sure we are on the same page and we know our goals and life plans. We literally need to reconnect and meet eacho ther all over again in some senses. Scary but I know we will grow through this no matter how it comes out. So keep us in your prayers...that we can find our common ground and hopefully go forward stronger. But as I said, this requires a lot of change from what I have been doing...I need to show how much I appreciate Kelley more than I do (because frankly I don't do it now). I am so crazy about her, so now it's time to prove that through the actions which speak louder than words.
So have a good weekend everyone, wish me luck at the PTQ's, and I'll catch up with everyone later.
