Week 7

Wow...2 midterms down 3 to go...I have been busy and stressed lately but its okay I am in law school so it goes with the territory.

Nothing sticks out in my mind as to what I did last week. It was the worst week thus far of law school but it was just very stressful. I haven't found it hard yet. But I get one of my midterms back this week so maybe I will be singing a different tune then.

I saw a drivers ed car today and the license plate said "nervous"
It is very common out here for people to have personalized plates. In WI it seemed that I was the only one with personalized plates but here it seems like every other car has them.

Today (not really part of week 7 lol) I saw a car from my apartment parking lot at the school parking lot. It is a car with Illinois plates. I assumed they went to FPLC just because why else would someone with IL plates be in NH for so long...I think the owner of the car lives in the building next to mine. I have yet to see anyone driving the car but maybe someday our paths will cross. It would be nice to carpool to school.

Gas went down to 3.09 today from 3.21. I was hoping I could rub it in but then I called a friend in WI and he said the gas there was also 3.09. What is the world coming to when gas in NH is the same price as in WI. Out here it was been consistently lower...Like 20-30 cents lower. I was thinking it was because of tax or something but now I don't know...Maybe it was just a fluke and our gas prices will plummet even further and then I can reign as the cheap gas queen once again..

Time is flying by so fast. It is crazy that November is right around the corner. I was thinking it would never come. I have 60 some days left until Christmas break...I can hardly wait! I know things will calm down out here and I will get more used to law school as time goes on but for now its kind of scary. Especially since the time is flying by. I will be a lawyer before I know it and then I will have to start paying back these awful loans...blah why does school cost money? I think professors should be happy only getting the reward of doing a job well done...I don't really think that but anything would be better than paying an arm and a leg for school. I just have to keep optimistic. Even if I end up in default or bankrupt, the bank can never take away my education...So basically even if I never pay back the money I will still have all my great lawyering skills. Too bad you can't pass the character and fitness portion of the bar if you have declared bankruptcy...Well maybe you can but its harder. Apparently you have to be reliable and responsible to be a lawyer.

My advice to anyone contemplating law school:
Get a scholarship to some college (anywhere will do) and pick a real major (NOT LIBERAL ARTS!!!) and then when you graduate go start working. Don't go to law school. You will become cynical and pessimistic.
