"Law school is for people who are boring, and ugly, and... serious. And you, Button, are none of those things." -Elle's father

So, it has been awhile since I last posted. I have been rather busy! As indicated in my previous blog, I started PBAP at Campbell the 2nd week of May. This week will mark the beginning of week 4! So far so good!

I am starting to get a little nervous about finals, as my final grade is the determining factor in my final acceptance. It is my understanding that previous years of the PBAP program have consisted of 60+ students. Much to my surprise, we only have about 30 this year. I am not sure if it is a result of the economy or more stringent acceptance requirements, but I like to think that it gives us all a better shot at getting in ;)

I am really enjoying my time in Raleigh thus far. Although I have not had the time to get out and meet many people, I am very comfortable in my new home. At the end of PBAP, I will have a few weeks to mingle and enjoy the summer before the fall semester begins.

To update everyone on my progress of paying for law school, I applied for vocational rehabilitation services from the VA. I drafted an extensive "brief" back in April which consisted of Federal Regulations and case law supporting my conclusion that the VA pay for my legal education. I am happy to report that the brief went over very well and my counselor is supporting my decision to attend law school. I am working with my counselor to process the remaining issues (red tape), and provided that there are not any problems with the VA in North Carolina accepting my educational plan, my tuition, books and supplies along with a monthly stipend will be provided to me. I cannot be more thankful for this award!!

As far as the courses that I am taking, Personal Property and Public Land Use, I am really enjoying it! It is a lot of work to read and brief the cases, but I am really excited about the knowledge that I am gaining from this experience. It will be nice to have this advantage when I start in the fall!

If any upcoming law students have questions about anything law school, post a comment and I will be more than happy to help (with my limited experience) as I can!

Thanks for reading and hopefully next time I post, it will be regarding my full acceptance to Campbell!
