It's been quite a while since I posted, I'm sorry about that. I went home for thanksgiving which was nice and then we came back and got started on finals right away. I usually enjoy finals because i enjoy the pressure of having to study hard and what not, but this year not so much. I spent a lot of study time in the law library. It's nice in there because it's guaranteed to be quite and you'll find a spot to study. The students on campus that generally don't go to the library on a regular basis pack the main campus library, so it's usually really loud or you just can't find a place to study.
A couple of years ago we were studying for finals on the main floor of the library one night and a streaker ran through. It was pretty hilarious.
All in all I think that this semester went pretty well. I feel that I let myself down grade wise, but then again the new minus grading system that UT has installed is somewhat of a bummer. I'm still trying to figure out the logic behind the whole thing.
It's pouring down rain here in Knoxville which is good because we need the rain, but the rain makes it a pain to have to walk across campus. You always need to remember to check the weather before you head to class to make sure you dress appropriately, but please, whatever you do, don't carry an umbrella. Wear a raincoat, their nice and there is much less of a chance that you poke someones eye out.
The weather men are calling for snow for tonight, I'm not worried about it snowing here in Knoxville, but as I try to drive home tomorrow the snow may be a hindrance. But I'm glad it is finally winter time and that it might actually snow. My friend who attends LSU said they had six inches of snow this morning. Is it me, or does snow in New Orleans and Baton Rouge seem like the opposite of global warming.
As I go into my last semester of school, which seems hard to fathom, I'm pretty excited, but at the same time apprehensive. I have yet to hear back from any of the law schools that I have applied to on whether or not I have been accepted. I plan on applying to more over Christmas break. I feel like I've come a long ways since freshman year when I was on the verge of dropping out and now I'm not only about to graduate, but I'm hoping to continue school for another three years. When you go to college try and remember to keep an open mind and look for possibilities that you may not have considered before.
Have a good Christmas and stay warm
