Culture is an understatement of what VLS offers.  Diversity is also an understatement of the law school.

 We are diverse… and diversity is funny.

 I’ll resist the urge to let you in on the minutia of funnyness that I’ve uncovered here at VLS - mainly because of the possible liabilities that come with sharing your brand of humor with the internet.

In any case, this week is a busy one.  My wife and baby are in New Mexico visiting family and I’m eternally grateful.  I’ve spent nearly every day this week at school until 10-11pm at night. 

I drive the 1/2 hour home, shovel snow for a half hour, prepare lunch for a half hour… tonight I have to bring in firewood for probably about the same amount of time… and then arise at 7am at the latest in order to get to school on time. 

My efforts at improving my study habits are progressing without the aid of chemicals.  I’m having to rely solely on my wits… which are good…fried, but tasty.

I’ve forced myself to work in a group… which is forcing me to actually work.  I talked to the Academic Success Program director and she shared (however truthfully) that 70% of my peers won’t actually get serious this semester until after spring break.  So I feel slightly better, while not really being reassured.

Being on my own is great because I am able to stay late at school and am forced to force myself to do the things I normally try to rely on others for. 

I still don’t have an internship for this summer, but am working slowly on it.

I’m REALLY excited about the end of this semester.  One, so I don’t have to go to class all summer… and two, because I have a list of books and projects that I want to work on. 

Anywho… ask me anything about school.  Its hard for me to imagine that I’ll be a 2L in a little more than 2 months. 

 Scary!
