So This is Law School

Well, not yet, really. My orientation for law school began last night, while classes start next week. When I tell people that I'm beginning an evening law program while simultaneously working my 55 hour a week job (not bad, really) while being married and raising a 9 month old, I get one of two responses - "You're nuts," and "You're crazy."

Maybe so.

Yet here it is, and I am on the doorstep. My wife did her graduate work just a few years after finishing college, so she still had a classroom mentality when she continued her education. For me? I felt like I was in a time warp. I felt myself reverting to the shy, introverted, low self-esteem guy I was back in college. And in our opening discussion on the basics of law, being called upon to answer a question was like being doused with ice cold water. That's when I knew that my dream of attending law school that dated back to a Business Law class in college had finally come to fruition, and ready or not, here it was.

This is real. It's game time. Let's get started.
