I believe I'm in denial. Classes start Monday, and I'm not facing it well. I had been gungho about it all, but it has fizzled. I did go to school today to finish buying books, so perhaps this event is related. Being smarter than the average bear, I brought my own bag to lug the extra weight back to the car after dropping off a couple of books in my locker. Ah, the beauty of picking one's own locker. I also found my schedule in my mailbox and found that I was let in to all the classes I'd added, so I'm now facing a dilemma of which class to drop. 19 credits ain't happening. They rearranged the mailboxes based on dropouts and transfers and messed with my sense of order profoundly. I also goggled at the incoming 1Ls. They seem particularly obnoxious and not nearly as deferential as 1Ls should be. You're 1Ls dammit, grovel before me now! I know I was deferential...not that it got me anywhere, but it seemed appropriate. I did not opt to become a 2L peer for an incoming. I didn't have a peer since I was seemingly left off the list until the last possible moment, when someone gave me a perfunctory phone call and proceeded to have nothing to do with me for the rest of the year. Call me petty, but I don't think it's the best thing for me to poison the mind of a malleable law student...I'm jaded enough as it is. Did I mention I really don't want to go back?
