My soundtrack: "I'm Tired" from Blazing Saddles.
No, really, what have I done? I'm insane. OK, maybe not insane, but seriously exhausted right now. Why am I exhausted you ask? Well, it's 8 am and I've been up for 2 hours studying...STUDYING!!!! ME, at 6 in the morning! I'm disgusted with myself too. Anyway, life doesn't seem as bad today. I wrote my first brief this morning and my first memorandum is due next Tuesday. I'm really kind of excited to write it. I get to go use the law library with two other girls in my class. We have classes with the same group of people all year, so I'm hoping everyone is easy to get along with and not huge toolboxes. Plus, there are a few "that girl/guy" in my class and I HATE them. UGH! Obviously they like the sound of their own voice because they don't ever actually say anything substantive, but whatever. Maybe they'll get tonsilitis or something and won't be able to talk.
So far, I've had two classes, legal decision making and legal writing. The professor for legal writing seems really nice, but the legal decision making professor is very intimidating. Of course, I did arrive 30 minutes late to his class yesterday because I can't read a schedule. Needless to say I felt like an asshole. But, onward and upward. I am so tired too. I've just been going straight all week. Tonight when I get home, I'm going to study for a few hours and then sleep. Oh, dear, sweet sleep, how I love and miss you. I would be more excited about things if I wasn't so sleepy/irritable.
My apartment is great, although it was scary going to sleep last night all by myself. The apartment will be more homey/less scary when the furniture comes on Saturday, because then it won't be so empty.
To be honest, I am a little scared right now. More scared of putting in all the effort and then not succeeding. I'm also petrified of the Socratic Method that everyone is talking about. I don't like to speak unless I have something to say, so "cold-calling" makes me feel like I'm going to wet myself. ::Sigh:: I have to go get Eliza now (we have class at the same time this week, so I'm just going to pop over the bridge into University City to pick her up). I miss everyone and I'm a bit lonely right now, but I don't think it will take long for a social butterfly like myself to make a few delightful new friends. Everyone should come visit me soon though, then you can see my lovely apartment and new collection of scary looking law books.
