Well, having been to all of my classes at least once so far (not bad for day 2), it looks like this semester will be interesting, to say the least. It's a huge help that I know someone in every single class; in one class alone I'm in there with 4 people I have taken classes with before. I love that about UPB. I remember going to classes at the school that I transferred from (a looong time ago) and having class in an auditorium with 200 other people. I'll definitely miss my tiny 30-person classes.
I ended up getting the unabridged audiobook for Uncle Tom's Cabin, which I listen to while I read the book. It makes the "gullah" dialect SO much easier to understand and read.
Constitutional Law class has a great new adjunct who is just hilarious. Definitely makes the class livelier, and since there are 8 or 9 aspiring attorneys in class, he is running it like Law School Light. We're writing case notes, discussing issues, doing a load of reading, and arguing a case in front of a mock Supreme Court (where everyone has a role!)
Two of my classes have group projects, which are okay, but gives me a fair amount of anxiety that everyone isn't going to pull their weight and the others have to suffer for it grade-wise. I'm hopeful that my group people will want to get an A on the projects at hand.
So far, my snooziest class is World Regional Geography, but I've only had one class. I've started the term project assignment, so I'm 1/10th the way finished with that.
On the homefront, I have plans for spring break, mostly involving visiting Widener Law and Dickenson Law, then spending a couple of days in DC hitting museums with Nanne (and maybe another law school. ssh.)
