"Motivation is what gets you started..."

and habit is what keeps you going." Jim Rohn

Let's hope that's true. I'm a Peer Mentor,which means among other things that I got a sweet t-shirt, helped with orientation and spent two days listening to 1Ls freak out about school. I know that I was in the same boat a year ago. I could call one of my own peer mentors just to make sure, but let's just say that I was pretty sure after only a few hours of orientation that law school wasn't going to work out. Well, for better or worse, I've stayed the course.

Some interesting things about 2L:

1. I'm on JLED (Journal of Law and Education), which only has 9 2Ls--including the Editorial Board there are only 13 members....TOTAL. Not sure if that's the best thing. For comparison, Law Review has around 50ish total. Though, I guess a small journal is better than no journal at all.
   
2. Kelly and I have 4 of our 5 classes together and we're on the same journal. I'm pretty darn excited about suffering together again. How I love Teaguers.
   
3. I only have 2 commitments outside of school this semester--small group (which is a non-negotiable as it's a necessity--however I have 5 classes on Monday and we've been meeting on Sunday evenings, so we'll see how long that works) and 6 weeks of work at Legal Services (i.e. Labor Day to Fall Break).
   
4. I GET TO SEE THE AVETT BROTHERS TOMORROW!

In the wise words of OK Go,

Just when you think that you're in control,
just when you think that you've got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,
here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
I should have known,
should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
