26

Today marks the end of my 2nd week of law school and my 26th birthday.

Husband surprised me and took the day off and took me to lunch. It was lovely.

Since I've been out of touch all week, I shall report later on this week's happenings.

First Week

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I made it through my first week of law school. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't incredibly difficult, either.

So far, I am really enjoying the courses and the professors. Law school has this reputation for having stuffy, old, cranky professors. Actually, my professors are closer to my age.

As far as homework goes, I don't get home from school until 10 P.M. By that time, I am fried and head straight to bed. Getting enough sleep, for me, is key to surviving my hectic schedule. I would rather spend my lunch break reading, which I have done twice this week, than miss sleep. Lack of sleep = sick!

I was excited to leave work Friday and come straight home. I relaxed, caught up on a week's worth of TV and slept in, a whopping 50 minutes, on Saturday.

This is going to be a challenge, but I think I can do it.

Bad Programming

A dear friend of mine (who is also going back to school this fall) and I have run into a predicament. We are both the ones who "take care of" our households. We pretty much do everything that needs to be done (laundry, grocery shopping, errands, cleaning). With both of us going back to school, our time to do these things will be severely limited and we are going to rely on our significant others to do a lot more.

We have both come to the conclusion that men (well at least ours) don't see the importance of certain things like thoroughly cleaning a bathroom or hanging up/putting up dirty laundry. They don't automatically understand that these things necessarily need to get done. It's not that they don't care...there are just different priorities for men. My frend and I blame...GENETICS. Are women just programmed to do these particular things or are we (my friend and I) just control freaks who just need to relax?

For Reals

I recently became the proud parent of a 12 lb child.

Here is my child:

Cases and Materials on Torts
Civil Procedure

I have orientation for law school tomorrow and I start class on Monday which means that my summer is officially over. There were a few things I wanted to accomplish this summer before school started:

1. Read "The Twilight Saga." CHECK
2. Get crazy, stinking 20 year old drunk. CHECK (last weekend---took 2 days to recover)
3. Take a few trips with the husband. CHECK
4. Clean out my closet. CHECK

Quite a list, huh?

Husband and I went outlet shopping today and I managed to get a giant but sturdy tote bag for school at J. Crew. Husband actually picked it out.



Tomorrow is going to be a long day! Wish me luck.

Everybody On The Whole Cell Block...

After what I call a "20 year old weekend," I dressed for work this morning not realizing what my outfit looked like.

A nice lady at Subway told me my outfit resembled Elvis's costume from "Jailhouse Rock." What do we think?

In other outfit news, check out my outfit for an 80s party I attended last week. The most expensive thing was the sunglasses -- $15.
