Week 2 down!

On my drive to school today I thought a lot about time. It's now two weeks into school and for a fleeting second I had the masochistic notion to count the number of weeks remaining until graduation and start a countdown (I know, I have too much time when I'm on the road). For the sake of morale I decided this was a bad idea, but I'll probably get a countdown going when I'm more than halfway there... less depressing that way.

On the flip side... it's been two weeks and I still haven't been called on yet. Everyone is warned of the dreaded "Socratic method" before starting law school. Fortunately our profs tend to be slightly less sadistic than the urban legend profs. I am comfortable volunteering answers in class (particularly in Criminal, which is my favorite so far), but have never been called on to state the facts of a case, or even to answer a hypothetical. It'll happen one of these days, but so far I've been lucky. I think that fear of looking dumb in class is the main motivational factor right now (since finals are too far away for us to be afraid of them yet).

Anyway, we have a long weekend (yay for Labor Day weekend!) so I'll have plenty of time to balance the homework, the husband, the workouts, and old friends. Thank goodness!
