PHX

Headed home for the holidays. The shuttle comes at 2:30 in the morning to pick me up. I think I'm probably going to sleep in the airport and then on the flight. Going to take out the trash and then try for a nap before I wake up to leave. *yawn* I will miss my Seattle friends and Dave though. I can't wait to see any of my friends and then come back and get to curl up next to him in bed again. :)

Finals???

So I should be studying for my crim law final right now, but I have lost all motivation. I almost feel like I'm done with finals with how good my mood is. Well the mood has decreased a bit because I'm watching the Seahawks game and the 49ers just scored a second touchdown. Either way, finals so far have gone pretty well. I've ended up being a lot less stressed then I expected. I may just be repressing it and taking it out in other parts of my life, but I'm still not applying it to school which is good. I guess only time will tell about how I've actually done on the tests, but I feel pretty decent about them.

I'm excited about the next few days. After my final is over tomorrow I'm going out to drink with kids from school. Hopefully tomorrow night the drinking will continue. Saturday is when Dave is celebrating his birthday with friends. I'm sure it will prove to be a fun time and a lot more drinking. Sunday is dinner with his parents for his birthday. Monday Maria, my mentor, has offered to take me out to lunch and give me a tour of her office. I'm looking forward to finally meeting her since things keep happening and getting in the way. After meeting for lunch with her I'll come home and get all packed and then see Dave on his birthday.

Tuesday the shuttle is coming to get me at 2:30 in the morning. My flight is at 5:30ish and I will be in PHX by 9:00. Then lots of fun in PHX. I'll be home right before New Year's Eve which means even more fun. Hopefully everything will be enjoyable and I'll have a nice relaxing break. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and all that to everyone :)

Final #1

So my first final of law school is today. I really feel like I should be a bit more stressed than I am. Really I studied yesterday with some friends for about 4 hours and ran over note cards and hypos. I've made my own note cards and we can bring in one sheet, front and back, to the exam. Really I'm more concerned about whether I'll be able to write for 3.5 hours and making sure I spot all the issues. Once I have all the issues, I have no doubt that I will be able to analyze them well. I was truthfully expecting there to be this huge stress on me since my finals are worth pretty much 100% of my grade in each class, but really the stress isn't there. I'm actually a little stressed due to my lack of stress. Who would have guessed that I'd be perfectly relaxed the morning of my first law school final? Maybe something is wrong or maybe I'm just going to screw it up so bad or maybe I actually have confidence in myself and know that I'll be fine. Either way, not being stressed about this will be a huge advantage when I walk into that room. I think my biggest fear is today won't go as well as I expected and I will be stressed for the rest of them. The nice part being that once today is done, I only have 4 finals left. :)
