Last day of orientation...

Today was the last day of the Entering Student Program (ESP!!!) which means that tomorrow is my first day of class! I have Lawyering Skills in the morning, and later in the afternoon I have Contracts. I know both of these sound very exciting to readers! Surprisingly, my Contracts reading didn't bore me. I'm quickly realizing how much of my life - our lives, as people living in this country - are governed by contracts. Understanding them in depth won't only help me with my future career, but also with my future life, I think. I will say that I'll never make a casual promise again. You never know who's out to get you. (Five days as a law student and I've already lost faith in the basic decency of humans...uh oh!)

But really. I continue to meet new classmates all the time, but there are a few I've now been around long enough to be pretty comfortable and relaxed. We didn't have any semblance of class today, just listened to staff discuss the study abroad, clinical and externship opportunities. I already have myself studying abroad in Ireland AND Turkey, spending a semester in London, and working in all three clinics affiliated with the school. Realistic? No. But exciting, yes.

There is little to report. Joey and I are keeping the apartment tidy, which has more to do with my efforts (cleaning up before bed, not leaving a dish in the sink, hanging up my clothes after I take them off) than Joey's efforts (getting all of his toys back out directly after I put them away, tearing holes in his stuffed animals and pulling out all their stuffing, bringing his food out kibble by kibble to chomp it into kibble dust in the middle of the living room). But, we're getting on. I should leave my audience with a picture, but I don't have anything to photograph... I'll add something extra onto the next post.
