Okay, I’m Going Into the Bunker Now. I’ll See You Again Never.

I’m joking.  Not really.

So law school orientation is officially wrapped up, and tomorrow I’ll start classes as the official OFFICIAL really for sure official start to the next chapter in my life (as if somehow this “next chapter” hasn’t been magnificently protracted, but that’s another post that is neither particularly interesting nor ever going to be written).

I’m now looking straight down into the belly of the beast, and somehow I’m not completely scared out of my wits.  To the ignorant comes bliss – or so they say.  Somehow this all feels doable, which is how I normally feel until I manage to fall off the wagon (which coincidentally tends to fall in line with the purchase of a new video game system – and is the reason why I patently refuse to buy a PS3 no matter how much I want to play the new NCAA ’11 game).

So far as I can tell, law school is about guilt.  Yes, classes have not started yet, but already it has set in.  If I’m not reading something for class or thinking about something for class or organizing something for class, then I’m feeling guilty that I should be doing at least one of – and probably at least six of – those things for class.  And perhaps the most mildly unsettling part of the whole ordeal so far has been just trying to get into some sort of a schedule, which is tough to do in a week that is completely unlike the class schedule I’ll be following for next week.

In the meantime, I’ve been able to meet a lot of fantastic classmates in the last few days we’ve been getting oriented.  And even if a handful of them are from the University of Michigan (you know who you are), it’s nice to know the vast majority of people I’ve meet so far have not been completely egomaniacal.

The bad news so far?  I think I need to buy a planner.  Seemingly a minor issue, but for anyone who knows my penchant for technological gizmos, the old paper planner seems archaic.  Hasn’t Google come up with something wonderfully simple, ad-supported and able to sync cross-platform that can ensure I get all of my assignments done on time and allow me to make money through AdSense?  It’s probably a Labs project in Gmail.

Anyway, I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to update this site or Spartan-Football.com.  But without a doubt, if I am able to scrap some time together, I’ll certainly be changing the focus of the site to be a little more law focused.

Till next time friends.  Be patient with me.
