Hi, everyone...Just a quick post, maybe more to prove to myself that I can post more then once every two weeks. The weather here in Salem took a sharp turn into Fall today. Fall...my favorite season...well, there's something about every season that I love. The trees here on campus and next door at the capitol building are gorgeous. They paint the campus in bold reds, yellows and oranges. I just love the feeling of walking across campus in the crisp air with leaves crunching under my feet and as I draw near to my truck in the parking lot the sound of acorns plummeting to the ground joins the the Fall symphony. I try to ignore the potential damage the falling nuts may be making to my truck on the days the only spaces left to park are directly under the tree.
Although the weather outside is turning windy and cold, my life as a first year law student continues to heat up and pressurize. Last week we got our first legal memo back. I got a C+. Yes, I know...shocking! I don't remember the last time I got a C+ in my academic career and I honestly don't like it. Apparently though, not many students got a grade higher than that. Thankfully, this is a learning process and I am seeing my memo as such and not as I would normally view it...as a failure. According to the prof...she's had students who got Ds on their first memos who still got honors in the class. All things are possible. I will tell you, struggling to stay on top of my grades is an exhausting, humbling experience. So, with that said, thirty pages of Criminal Law stand between me and my head hitting the pillow for the night. Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support. I can't tell you how much I need them and how impossible this endeavor is without them!
