I am trying to think of any good stories from the week and I am drawing a blank. I am sure there was a story about the non traditional student that annoys the heck out of me but I can't think of it...I might try to covertly get a picture of her so people can see that she really does look like the puppet from Mr. Rogers. I haven't decided yet if that is too mean.
I have midterms coming up. They are spread throughout the month of October so maybe it wont be so bad? My first one is next week Thursday. The professor is calling it a quiz so I am not really that worried.
If anyone wants to know the worst part of law school here it is the other people. The other people who are constantly talking about how stressed they are and the people who claim they never leave the library before 10 (every night) they make this difficult. I have yet to stress out about school or get nervous about anything. I was really worked up over the summer but being here is just like being at any other school. I am doing a lot more studying and paying more attention in class and overall being more responsible but I am not stressing about it. Two weeks in a row I have finished all my homework Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday on the previous Sunday which has allowed me to finish my Thursday and Friday homework early in the week. Right now I am supposed to be finishing Contracts and also finishing my homework from Torts but neither will take me that long so I am not really worried. (whoever said my Con Law classes wouldn't be helpful in law school was dead wrong! I can read a case super quick and on the second reading pick up everything I need!)
Sleep is still an issue. I can't fall asleep at night and today I wasn't super tired between classes but I forced myself to take a nap so I wouldn't crash later. I drank two glasses of OJ so I think that helped with keeping me awake. My mom recommended getting some kind of exercise so that my body got tired and I am planning on going for a bike ride when I get home. There is a weird shaped block that I will be going around tonight when I get home. I'm not sure how long it is or anything but I can always cut through the cemetary if I need to. (Have I mentioned the crazy amount of cemetaries in NH? I think that they take granite to the extreme...It is probably against some granite law to even get cremated.) There is a cemetary that has a gravestone marking its entrance..it could just be a granite sign but its more interesting to think that all the granite signs (they are everywhere) are really gravestones.
New Hampshire is starting to grow on me. Even though I want to throttle the drivers (NH drivers more so than the Massholes) I am realizing that I will probably miss this place when I leave. It is not really even that weird living alone. I don't have to deal with anyone or fight about anything with anyone and if I don't want to do something I don't have to. I only have to answer to myself and that is nice. And even though no one will believe me, I don't have a huge mess. I pick up after myself and keep up on the dishes, laundry, and housework in general.
I have a few pictures and will post those when I get a chance. I will get some pictures of my clean apartment up too so that people are more inclined to believe me. :)

Hi Alie:
I finally checked my yahoo account (I only check it every 3 months or so) and found your email and blog.
I am glad you are enjoying school and not getting too stressed out. I remember business law and not getting the cases at first (esp torts) and then they clicked.
I can't wait to see your pictures. Regarding sleep, turn off the tv and drink less coke zero. :)
