So for those who don't know, I recently started my first semester as a law student at Drexel University -- eh-hem, the Earle Mack School of Law AT Drexel University.
Law School itself is everything that you might think it is. It's a lot of hard work and a change in the method of education. For example, my pre-graduate attempts at memorizing APA, MLA, and Chicago citation method have been futile. Unfortunately, I do not celebrate it because I now have "The Bluebook" which has 200+ pages of legal citation methods. My aversion to citation has been transferred. I'm also learning how to apply fact to precedent. The subjective jargon would be "massaging the truth" but I assure you I am not attending a breeding ground for professional liars. (I have got to start now to dispel the evils of the profession). It has been a great experience so far. There have been many casebook pages to read which will increase as the semester continues but every so often I've scheduled time to see more of Philadelphia.
I have adjusted well to Philadelphia living. I live in a two bedroom apartment close to the school and have a great roommate. I got my first taste of Philly Theatre watching my good friend JB play a hilarious butler in a play called No-Talent Hacks which was presented as part of Philadelphia Fringe.
I spent time with my family this weekend, leaving me with much to do Monday morning. I am going to go pretend to get a headstart.
Much love to everyone and thanks for the good wishes, prayers, and support. It feels good to know that I've got a lot of love where I come from.
