"T" minus one month. That's how long I have before I start law school. It seems strange that, after so long (six months since I got back from Korea), I will finally be starting law school. I have even less time left if you count Georgia's Summer Academic Success program; which starts on the 2nd of August.
I found out this week that I got into the program, but the details are still sketchy. When I asked the director of the program some questions, he was not even able to tell me with the class times any certainty. He said it might be from 10am til 1pm. What I do know is that the program consists of two classes. One is a Constitutional law 'class' and the other class focuses on the writing skills I will need in law school. The program only lasts until the 10th, for a grand total of eight days of classes. After that I have orientation, another three days; and then classes begin on the 17th.
I don't really know what they could cover in eight days of classes, but I still very happy that they are offering me this opportunity. It's been two years since I was in school and a little longer since I was in a formal class. Furthermore, I think that the class structure and skills I will need will be different from anything I have experienced in my recent past. I hope that this program will give me a running start, so when class do start I will not be overwhelmed.
This leaves me with two weeks to prepare. Strangely, thought I should have expected this, the director of told me to do nothing to prepare for his summer program, except for enjoy the rest of my summer.
Without a reading list or any projects to complete I am at a loss for what to do with myself. The only thing I need to do before August is move into my new apartment.
I guess I am just going to keep doing what I have been doing for the last six months: working in the library. Though when I use the word "working" I have to use it in the broadest possible seance. It would be more accurately described as sitting on my butt checking Facebook and e-mail while reading the news and books. It's not exactly demanding work.
In fact, since January I have read 55 books, eight short books, and reread two books. This puts me well above my goal of reading 52 books a year, although it feels like cheating. After all, I have not had a demanding schedule and I have been without internet and cable at my apartment all summer.
Needless to say, I am looking forward to actually doing something productive.
