Back to school

I'm now officially done with my first week of second year. (We go back pretty early compared with other schools -- I know many places aren't starting up until after Labor Day. I guess we just really get the education we pay for. Whoo.)

So far, 2nd year is both better and worse than first year. On the plus side, it's nice to already know people on campus. At lunchtime I don't have to wander awkwardly around campus looking for someone to sit with. It's also nice to know how different things work. For example, my loan check was waiting for me on the first day because I already knew what paperwork needed doing and how to do it.

The downside is that 2nd year is an even bigger drain on my time than first year. In addition to classes, I have to do my law review office hours, go to my work-study job and get ready for on campus interviews. I'm trying to get my writing sample edited, find a second suit so that I don't have to wear the same outfit for 2 weeks straight and research all of the firms I am interviewing with well enough that I can impress them at the interview. I'm sure that I'll be running around like a nut come interview week -- especially since I currently have 7 interviews scheduled for one day.
