Grades week has come and gone. Another term here at Cooley. I made it through my first year with okay grades. Money is getting a little tight early on because of car repairs. Don't have any extra to put towards the wedding, but hopefully, home cut will come through on my breaks. Particularly at thanksgiving week. Going home next weekend for a friend's big day. Also, going to Northwestern with Case for a lesson. Watched college football most of the day yesterday. Going to watch the rest of the Bear game today and then off to the library for Evidence reading. I need to find a J-O-B around here I think. I'm going to quit smoking cigarettes on Monday. $5 per pack in MI is just too much when I can't afford a good meal without thinking twice about it. Anywho, feeling down in the dumps lately and don't really know why. I think I'm starting to get a little jaded with this whole law school thing. I haven't had much of a break since Christmas of last year. By "much of a break", I mean more than two weeks to give my stomach and head a rest. A few more months until another 3 week break though. Just got to make it through it. Suck it up, Tom. I miss you Case.
