Well, technically, since my classes started last Thursday, I’ve survived my first week of class. I hadn’t actually looked at what dates are posting on these blogs, but I’m guessing they are the wrong ones, because I’m not on the east coast. I may have to look into getting them fixed, but I don’t know if they would change the ones I’ve already posted or not. Anyway… that would be a tangent. So, I survived my first week of classes. So far, I like all of my professors, and I’ve mostly enjoyed class. I think the classes that I’ve chosen will be very relevant in my chosen career path (corporate law), and I think that the comparative aspect of all of the classes gives me an opportunity to critically evaluate the U.S. legal system as I learn finance or commercial transactions.
I’m really glad I’m getting this opportunity. Plus, I get to do it in a country I’ve wanted to visit for a long time. Overall, I’m feeling pretty lucky at the moment. I’m also feeling a tad homesick. I miss the companionship of my friends, family, and boyfriend. I miss hugs. You don’t think about it when you’re surrounded by people that you are close with. But then, when you leave for a bit, it kind of hits you that you haven’t had a hug in a couple weeks, and it seems really sad. But, generally, I find myself to be fairly content here, if not impatient to be feeling fully recovered.
Anyway, I guess that’s all the musings I have time for at the moment! (Despite what it might say on the times tamp, it’s 12:30 AM here and I need to get some sleep!)
