thoughts about law school

About 5 months ago, we were accepted to Mercer Law School in Macon, GA. (Did you catch that "we"? It's true.) So, we packed up our things and moved south to Macon.

School started about 2 weeks ago with an orientation week and introduction week. Today Anthony started his full class load. Wish him luck!

Before we even moved down to Macon we heard so many things about law school. So many not so good things and very little good things. For instance:

"Just plan on not seeing your husband at all the entire first year."
and...
"You will think at some point 'I can't do this!'"
and...
"Everyone in law school are alcoholics. Seriously, they are."
and...
"I know a lot of people who visit home for 3 months while their spouse study's for the bar."
and...
"Law school is hell on relationships."
and my personal favorite...
"Law school sucks, even when your not in it."
Lovely.

Wow, good luck you two. People always exaggerate though, they said the same stuff about my husband's pilot training.Yes, he was busy and had 12 hour days but I saw him plenty and it wasn't the end of the world. You'll do just fine!

I wouldn't worry, you will make it great. You're both awesome like that. Good luck, though! We miss you here in Grayson. :)
