2L, same as 1L?
Well, the rumors that my 2L year was somehow going to be easier and less busy have yet to materialize. The common wisdom on the life cycle of a law student is that things ease up quite a bit after the 1L year. Although this year hasn't been as hard yet in the "my-brain-is-hurting-I-don't-think-that-I-can-do-this-much-longer" kind of way, I am still managing to have surprisingly little time to do things like watch the Patriots game tonight. Between classes, interviewing, LFing, TAing, and working at the library, I'm finding that my weeks are packed quite tight.
This weekend my wife and I were in Philadelphia for a wedding. Unfortunately my flight out of Logan was delayed 5 hours, and I almost missed the rehearsal dinner. Still, the wedding was a lot of fun, and I even managed to see some college friends that I haven't seen in a couple of years. I was also very impressed with Philadelphia as a city. It has the historical feel of Boston, but it also feels much bigger.
My brother and his family get in town this week for a couple of days, and as always, I'm excited to see my nieces (I'm sorry -- am I always talking about my nieces? If it bores you, I apologize, but they're lots of fun to spend time with). I'm realizing that I talk a lot with my brother and my wife about law school, but that neither have them have ever been to a law school class. Maybe it would be fun to invite them to one of my classes.
I'd love to write more, but I need to get back to writing these memos.
