My first week as a 1L

My first week has not been as scary as the 2-4Ls had made it out to be. I am glad I had not yet read the entire 1L book because I hear it scares you. They suggest reading it after the year because you will appreciate everything the author went through. Well let me tell you, if I was supposed to get scared this week, I really didn't. I do realize I will have to work my butt off and I realize that I will study more than I have ever done so in the past. And reading..I know I will be reading all the time. Thats alright, I think I can handle that but I know it will get overwhelming already. I did love how my Property teacher talked about balance like other teachers had but then she showed a picture of a cute little baby and said everyone needs a Henry...well Drewber is my Henry and will soon be my screen saver and background on my computer so anytime I am overwhelemed I will see the cutest thing in the world. Even if he does run away from the phone when I am on it : )

This week went semi-fast. Tonight we have a mentor-mentee picnic and then people are going to the Distillery which is a big law school hang out I hear. I am not sure how much free time I will get on weekends since studying will consume a good chunk but I hope to hang out with people and go to the grocery store.
PS. it is not the same living alone because I do not force myself to eat. I miss my Amber and 'family dinners'. I need to get better about the whole cooking for one issue and I will just give me a week or so or until I lose the weight from Costa Rica. I really do like taking notes in class on a computer but let me tell you the temptation to use aim and go on the internet to check email is tempting. I will get back to my case briefing now so I am prepared to rock Contracts and Property if I am called on....
