Here we go...

So, I survived Orientation last week, which really wasn't too bad. And thus far I have survived homework. I have finished two of three classes and have started the third and its only noon on Saturday so that is a good sign. Classes officially start on Monday and right now I am still excited about that. I feel like I am already learning so much. Sorry such a short entry but really all I have time for. Just thought I would keep you up to date!

Boot Camp!

Well, today I attended a "seminar" of sorts put on by the HLSA (Hispanic Law Student Association) and the BLSA (Black Law Student Association) as sort of a pre-orientation orientation. It was not required but Im so glad I decided to go. It was a chance for me to get to know some people going into orientation so that I would be more relaxed and also a chance to get to know and talk to some of the 2L and 3L students who have been in my position before. We got to ask questions and get a students perspective, no lies, just the flat truth of the matter and what we really need to know going into class. We also got to meet some of the students that will be in our particular section with us (we will have all of our classes together) and talk to some of the students that were in that section last year and have them give us tips and heads up about our specific teachers. That was my favorite part of the day because that was so relevant to exactly what I am walking into. It was very intimidating but I am so glad that I went. Tomorrow begins the actual orientation which will be three days long and then class starts on Monday. Tomorrow I am going to get my books so that I can get my homework done by Monday. Anyway, I am still really nervous but very excited and ready to get started and get into a routine! Wish me luck!

The End is Leading to a New Beginning

Well, here goes nothing. My last day of work for Dish Network is coming to a close, and Monday I begin my life as a 1st year law student. It's amazing how God continues to bless my life each and everyday. Please pray for me as I begin my journey and help me keep my feet planted firmly on the ground.

It's Almost Over! Yet We're Just Getting Started!

Well, here I am with only two days left at Dish Network, and I am thrilled! Friday is my last day and I am ready for that day to be here. Isaac is busy working with two-a-day's now with SpringLake Earth and loving being around football again. He's not enjoying the long days and waking up at 6 am but he loves being around highschool sports. I'm trying to get all of the last minute things done before school starts on Wednesday with orientation and am getting really excited about school.

We made a trip to Amarillo this past weekend to visit Isaac's parents and had a lot of fun! We finally got to see their new house which is beautiful. John says it's the same size as the house they had in Claude but I felt as if it was twice as big. It's a really great house for them and great location in Amarillo.

Other than that we are just hanging out enjoying spending time together before we both get into the swing of school. Life is good and we are very blessed!
