Well, today is the day, kids. We're closing on the new condo a 2:15 this afternoon! This morning, we're picking up a ZipCar to drive us to the bank's attorney's office as well as run errands. Our goal is to pack the car with stuff I'll need to paint and perform acts of light carpentry over the next week or so and deliver it to the new place after we close. After that, we're going to drive down to IKEA and pick up a few things that we'll need for the new place and deliver them as well (since assembly will most definitely be required). If all goes as planned, we'll be all set to move on June 3rd. Hurray!
On a more school-related note, I'll be getting my grades for the year on June 15th. I've been told that those folks that fail out actually get a letter by registered mail. This is not a pleasant thought but it's a real concern. My confidence was shaken when we had our midterms in December. I really thought coming out of them that I had done rather well, at least on most of them. Instead, I 'rode the B- curve' in most of the classes. That, combined with the fact that the finals I just took were cumulative, worth 75% of our grade and wicked hard leads me to fear the worst. That's not to say that I'm not better than 50% hopeful that I passed and about 25% more hopeful that I did better than passing. It just means that the remaining 25% is contemplating scanning the classifieds for a job. Did I mention that law school is a soul-crushing experience?
Even with the looming worry, I have to say that I did really enjoy my first year at law school. It's like returning to junior high, only we're all grown up and don't have find an adult to buy us beer. You all take the same classes so it's as though ever class is 'home room'. There are the cliques, the cool kids, the smart(er) kids, etc, etc. Since you wind up spending at least 8 hours a day at school, 6-7 days a week, you really get to know your classmates and you form powerful bonds (via commiseration) with the friends you make. It's great if, like me, you had a less-than-great junior high experience and you appreciate the chance for a re-do.
Alright. Basta for now. Need to get the day started. More soon.

Deb is right, as always. I really needed to be more considerate of everyone's inbox space. So, rather than bcc'ing the hell out of you all, I created this blog where you can read and respond at your leisure without the inconvenience of hitting the delete button.
