Full Speed Ahead

Today as I waited outside for my first class of the day, I saw more people with cups of coffee than I have ever seen here. We're entering week five, law school is picking up speed, and I heard it only gets faster. All we pretty much have to keep up is caffeine. (And I also heard a girl ask if it was too early in the week to need a cocktail, that's how we cope.)

The first draft of our first writing assignment is due this week. We had our first review session to prepare us for a final 10 weeks away. And the reading has doubled. I think we're all starting to feel the pressure but fortunately I'm not completely overwhelmed yet.

It helps that I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a study hermit Sunday afternoon- Thursday night, and sometimes even Fridays too. Sometimes I forget that I've completely adapted to a new style of living. It's almost a little scary how autopilot I run. I come home, start reading again immediately, cook dinner, eat, clean dishes, go back to reading, occassionally call my parents and/or Alex, blog, go to bed, wake up, review for class, go to class, and then repeat (and I guess I'm always checking email/facebook/craigslist/AIM). A simple but oddly pleasant life.

In case you don't hear from me for the next year or three, you'll know what I'll be doing.
