Driving back to C-Town early tomorrow morning. My first class is at 10:30, so need to leave around 6:30 to make sure I get there on time.
Well, this has been a successful weekend, if not exactly fun. I basically spent the entire time reading and taking notes for my classes. Even then, I only had time to do work for two of my classes, so I will have to do work for the other two during the week.
Yikes, I have a memo to write for Lawyering class already. This won't be fun. However, learning about how Lexis and Westlaw work has been really eye-opening. I can't imagine how lawyers did research before the computer age. How could they possibly have shepardized all those cases manually?!? Or searched for cases relevant to a particular topic?!? On the other hand, I suppose back then cases and statutes were not as technical and complex as they are now. Our legal system has definitely evolved in response to technological advances.
I'm actually kind of excited to start next week. The stuff we are learning and discussing is interesting in most cases. Our classmates are on the whole relaxed and nice. The few vocal people in our class are not annoying, though some of them could be less wordy.
I'm still figuring out what "niche" I belong to in law school. This is my mission in the coming week, to figure out which organizatiosn and/or journals I'm interested in. So far, I've gone to the meetings and open houses for a few organizations, but mostly just to get their free food. I feel like I'm ready to take on some more substantive stuff.
