Where Did the Summer Go?

I move to Boston at the end of the month. That means I only have two weeks left to finish getting ready for law school.

I have a place to live and most of the things I need to put in it. I’ve started pre-packing, which is the first round of throwing things into boxes, before I realize that I own too much stuff and take half of it out again.

I want to buy some clothes before I leave. I desperately need some things that fill the space between tee-shirt-and-jeans and suit-and-tie, and I could really use a new suit, too. I hope my girlfriend will come along to supply the fashion sense, though she’s sort of being blackmailed into it (either help me or deal with the polka-dotted consequences!). I wouldn’t be surprised if she has nightmares about me going clothes-shopping alone. I know I do.

I’ve had a final transcript mailed to the school. I faxed in my immunization reports and waived the health insurance fee. And of course, I’ve taken out loans to pay for everything. I’m thinking about buying Microsoft Money to keep track of my budget, but I’m not sure.

I know which section I’m in and which classes I’m taking, but I don’t know which books I need. I have an 8:50 class on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, but only one class on Monday and Tuesday. Not a bad schedule, I think. I got a letter from my section leader yesterday. That was cool. We’re having classes during orientation. That’s not so cool. But they don’t seem to be real classes, and we’re also having a dinner-and-a-movie night. So that’s cool. I’m really just hoping for a bunch of ice cream socials. Mmmmm, ice cream.

There’s not much left to do, but that just makes the waiting more difficult. Two weeks.

    The hard part for me about the waiting is now almost everybody is gone. I’m dropping off one of my last friends left in SD at teh airport tomorrow. He was our fourth for 2-on-2, so I feel like I’ll be watching a lot of movies.
