The First Day, Again

The first day of the second semester of the first year came and went yesterday. The day was uneventful and passed relatively unnoticed. Readjusting to school after break takes a day or two, but I am getting back into the groove.

The new courses this semester are Property and Criminal Procedures. I am looking forward to Criminal Procedures because I feel like I am preparing myself for Law and Order: SLSU (Special Law Student Unit). Our book is co-authored by Erwin Chemerinsky who is Con Law buff, but apparently knows a lot about Crim Pro. If you’ve never heard of Chemerinsky and plan on going to law school, I suggest you check him out. He is, in my opinion, one of the best reads when it comes to explaining the law in an understandable and digestible way. I think Property will be standard - not exciting, but somehow necessary.

I still have not received my grades and probably won’t until late January because the snowstorm pushed back finals and thus grading. I continue on then, in my not so infinite bliss, that my grades will mirror my blood, sweat, and tears put forth in the first semester. Not likely, but I will live in my ignorance until grades are posted.

Lay Down the Law.

P.S. As I start the Gregorian New Year I have decide to drop the (!) after my sign-off and replace it with a humble (.). I believe that one must Lay Down the Law with a sense of purpose that can excite the senses to use a (!). However, I also think that a simple (.) states the matter in a quiet, yet dignified and somewhat ambitious manner. Therefore, please join me when I type Lay Down the Law.
