1L

You will be happy to note that I am keeping up with the blog for those of you (ahem my sisters and parents) that love it so much. So, the only big news in my life is starting my first year of law school.

And I will have you note that everyone in law school refers to us and themselves (if a first year student) as 1Ls. It is different from undergrad for many reasons, all the rooms are like U shaped. 4/5 of students have laptops and you dont have to move buildings for other classes. With that said, it also is crazy crazy crazy trying to park in the morning. And since you are in that building all day, you better get there by 8 am to park, I dont care if your class does not start till 11---still be there. Another big thing that scares people supposedly is being called on, oh the nervousness that people feel worrying about being called on. MY question is what if you just say ' I dont know'. The teachers kind of answered that today and you are just supposed to try or email them before class and say I didn't prepare so they dont call on you. Given that, my professors did not believe in Passing...can you pass in the courtroom- didn't think so!

I do have a quote that I just loved and will have to share with my Doctor for home when I go home again: When you profession was bleeding George Washington, mine was drafting the Constitution.

Back on topic...again Indy is totally different from undergrad in Champaign. For starters where are the buses that go all over campus? Why are books way over $500. Are there bars that actually have plastic cups and are college like? I ask myself this quite often, probably because I live alone and it gives me something to think about, but also because its such a different experience than what I am used to in Chambana or Motown, Illy.

I think that is enough babbling for day one and while it does feel good to procrastinate, don't think I will have much time to do so as I did in Costa Rica...back to reading. If your real lucky I might even share some interesting cases with you...so be on your best behavior! MUAH!
