Hey, maybe I can do this...

So there has been minor law school angst about not being smart enough and not doing well because it often seems like everyone else is smarter than me and at the very least, it's almost hard fact that they pay more attention in class and seem more focused than I am.  I am working on a biggish (14 pages) assignment which is a closed memo and struggling a bit.  Today we got back an assignment from my Criminal Law class that I was really worried about, in the generic comments about the paper at the beginning of class she seemed to be identifying many errors that I had made, so I was getting increasingly concerned.  Then I got it back and it didn't have a grade on it, so I had to go back to her and ask what I had received and it was an A-!  80%!  The average grade in the class was a B, so I'm pretty happy to be getting an A- and it has made me a bit more confident about this other assignment I'm working on.  Maybe I will be able to handle this after all.  It's really strange because I've always been lazy in school and done well, but I assumed that was the case for all these people and it might hurt me, but one assignment in and I'm doing okay.  I realize it's simply a 15% assignment in one of my seven classes, but hey I will take it as a positive sign.  I'm hoping to finish this assignment which is due on Tuesday by this Friday so I can go home this weekend with a clear conscience.  We'll see if that happens.

Also I played soccer with the law school intramural team on Sunday and scored two goals in a 4-0 win.  I was pretty happy to score twice considering it was only the second game of soccer I've ever played.  I should have a had a hat trick, but I slipped on a good chance near the end.  I avenged myself by scoring a hat trick in our intramural hockey game later that night - it was a good sporting day.

Other than the fact that I'm as sexually active as your average monk I don't have a whole lot to complain about.
