big day today

Wow. This is really happening. After years of considering it, two years of applications and the LSAT and eventually a tough decision to really go, it's started. Today I got my schedule and I got my books.

My schedule is really good, I think. I think it's the best one I could have out of all the sections. My classes start at either 9:40 or 10:40, so late enough to study or work out in the morning before class, and they're done by about 3:00 pm on all but one day. The best part is that on Wednesday I don't start until the early afternoon, which means that I can go home to my husband on Tuesday nights. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go home at all during the week.

At first, this schedule seemed positively luxurious with time. I thought was that they were missing a class, that there was no way that this was my entire schedule. After years of work in engineering, a schedule that started around 10:00 am and ended around 3:00 pm seemed practically frivolous.

Of course, my quickly following second thought was that they didn't mention the four hours of study time needed for one hour of class time in the schedule.

I didn't meet any other students formally, but the ones that I passed as I was milling around the posted sections and reading assignments smiled and nodded at me. I take that as a good sign.
