Well the first week is over. It began without much fanfare and ended the same way.

The first week of Year One was full of excitement—meeting new people, learning the law lingo, lots of free food. This time around it was mostly familiar faces and repeated responses to the question, “How was your summer?”

Hopefully one thing I’ve learned from my first two years is to get to work right away. The term flies by so quickly and it’s easy to let the reading pile up—that is if you intend to do the reading. I try to, but for many courses, there are more effective ways of using one’s time than reading for them…

So the final year has begun. Yet it seems that I was just recently a keen first year student looking for his small group’s classroom. I don’t miss the apprehension and nervousness but some more free food would be nice.
