It’s been an uneventful week scholatically speaking. Everything seems to be going along according to plan.

Two months in and fourty-eight to go! I am really enjoying Criminal Law, Torts, and Legal Writing. I am a little less interested in Contract Law at this time.

Week one of law school is complete, two hundred and fourteen to go! I intend on keeping this journal recording thoughts, successes, and challenges even. At this juncture, it seems to me that time management is the key to success in law school. Time will tell 🙂
