In the Final Countdown

Less than a month from now, I'll have orientation for law school.  Then begins the dreaded 1L year.  I'm really looking forward to this.  I should have done this a long time ago.  Way leads on to way, though and you find yourself years down the road wondering where the time went.

I got a laser printer for home.  Until now, I literally had no way to print anything from my house.  It was much cheaper than I thought it would be.  ($80).  It was inconvenient, but with the way my finances have been these past few years, I've avoided spending money on anything that isn't totally necessary.

I'm also working out quite a bit.  Law School is actually part of my motivation for wanting to do this.  I need the energy I get from a workout schedule.

Mostly, I do feel good about going back to school.  Although I never really enjoyed school, I enjoyed the idea that I was working towards a goal.  I've felt a little adrift ever since I finished my MBA.  Triathlon filled that void for a while, but after that, I should have taken night classes in something. 

So, not too much longer, and I'll be a full-time student again, for the first time since the early 90s.  This time, I'll be the old guy in the class.  This will bookend my experience as a 17 year old student taking classes at a community college in California.  From being one of the younger people in school to being one of the older.
