The countdown...

Hi...everyone! I am making time to write a post today. Thought it would give me a little bit of a study break. First, I thought I'd include some pictures of some of the beauty I get to walk through as I cruise across the campus to class. The colors of fall are amazing. Pictures don't even do it justice!!! I love the crunch, crunch, crunch sound under my feet as I walk. God definitly has an eye for incredible beauty.

So...back to school :-) Right now all 1Ls are experiencing a law school endurance test and counting the days until Nov. 4. Some counting in anticipation. Some counting in fear and no not because it is election day. November 4 1L students have their final memo due. For my class it is an open research memo on a tort issue. So, a lot of time is being spent in the library searching through dusty volumes of reporters, digests, plus any other publications that will provide guidance. The fact pattern for my assignment requires me to research whether a restaurant owner owes a duty of care to a customer in an unforeseeable attack by a third party. Also do the owner and employee owe a duty of care to the customer when an attack is already in progress? Burning questions we all want to know, huh?!??

I have really struggled on this project. It is all so new and pressurized. I will say as hard as it is, I haven't been contemplating escape plans on a daily basis. This is good, huh?!?!? As soon as I get this memo done and turned in, it time to crank up the dial on studying for finals. Next week I will spend the week studying for my last final torts. The following week will be for my third final contracts and so on and so on until finals start which is on Dec. 2. They end on Dec. 12 and I am so looking forward to four weeks of veggin' and hanging out with friends.

Yesterday, we had a madatory meeting with Career Services. Things are already getting moving on getting summer laid out...do I work...do I study abroad...do I do something absolutely not related to law? I'll be honest, thinking about summer is so far from my mind right now. Too much other stuff to think about and process.

So lot of school on the horizon over the next 6 1/2 weeks. If you don't hear much from me it is not because I don't love you, it's because I am consumed!!! Thank you so much for keeping me in your prayers I sooooooooooo need them, I can't even tell you!!!! Also...thanks for praying for my niece Ruby...she is doing much better. The antibotics are having a good result on the staph in her foot. It was really scary having her in and out of the hospital, but God is a healing God and we are so thankful for that!!!! Thanks again!
