Checking In

It's been a bit over a month since my last post.  When I wrote it, I knew it might be awhile.  That suspicion's been confirmed threefold.

5 weeks into law school and it's a lot harder than I expected.  It's also much more rewarding and exciting than I anticipated.  There's an edge to it, knowing that I'm actually studying the field I'll be working in for, presumably, the rest of my life.  I never gave that much thought, but it's actually a rare occurrence in education.  I loved the liberal arts education at Wooster, but the actual course material rarely felt directly applicable.  It's a new sensation and it's something of a rush.  It's a serious, complex endeavor unlike anything else.  It's worth it, incredibly worth it.
