Wow... Law School to this point has been very time intensive and that is for sure.
We arrived, we being my parents and I, in Norman on Wednesday after two days of unspectacular road tripping. The most surprising thing about this trip to me is the fact that no one actually lives in Wyoming... I mean no one... I didn't see a single Wyoming license plate... Take that evidence as you will.
Thursday morning I was up bright and early to attend Law School Orientation which was interesting in part, boring in part, and confusing in part. Overall, good information was given but I have seemed to have forgotten it all since then.
My parents, my sibling and sibling-in-law (Natalie/Jacob), and I, all went to the Oklahoma City National Memorial after orientation and that was quite a somber experience. I remember the attack on the Federal building and the aftermath and as I was walking through the memorial all those memories came back to me. For those who haven't been or haven't been recently you should go again. Although, this may be heresy, that attack had more impact on my life then 9/11.
Friday, my parents and I, bought a lot of supplies and stuff for my room (ie fridge, shelf, hangers, etc...) and then road tripped it up to Stillwater. For those who forget, I was born in Stillwater and still consider it my hometown. Although I didn't remember everything about Stillwater, I did remember the last house we lived in and we did go see it. It's amazing how small it looks today when compared to how I remember it. I also got the pleasure of meeting the infamous Pollie. What a dog!
Saturday, my parents, sibling and sibling-in-law(Natalie/Jacob), and I got to tour Boone Pickens Stadium and Gallagher-Iba Arena. Oh how many games I have watched broadcast from those two and it was amazing to finally tour them. Boone's (as I chose to affectionately call it) was absolutely amazing. The locker room was amazing... The weight room was amazing... It just was. I even got to see the stable where Bullet chills between performances. I loved every minute of that tour. The tour of Gallagher-Iba Arena was incredible as well. I've really wanted to go there someday and now I can say I have. Of course, I still want to attend a game but that will come.
Sunday was church with my parents and then I took them to the Airport. On the way to the airport we stopped at Braum's and ate. I was still in my white shirt and tie and thus a nice gentlemen confronted me asking what I learned in church that day... To be honest I was scared out of my mind. I hurried and responded that we learned about self-improvement and such, and then asked him what he had learned. I quote, "We learned about Moses keeping up his hands, and they were victorious." It was something along those lines. My dad enjoyed this.
I got my parents to the airport and was fine until the security gate... I cried I'll admit it. I soon bucked it up though and lessened my tears for the entire ride home. By the time I got to my apartment I was fine again and no one was the wiser as to what occurred.
Classes have been challenging. The reading material isn't so hard as it is complicated. Missing a single fact or sentence can change or ruin your interpretation of the case. I'm doing pretty well I think. I was called upon today for answers and I feel that I adequately gave them (I nailed them imho). I've gotta go to bed 'cause I've got four classes tomorrow. I'll make sure to start posting regularly. Usually every Wednesday about this time.
