Grades!

Well grades are finally in!! And even though not all of us (meaning Ross) are happy with the results, I think he still did an amazing job for his first year of law school. We still don't know what his overall ranking in his class is but we at least have grades. So....after a long wait here they are! All the grades are out of a 4.0

Torts: 3.6
Contracts: 2.6
Criminal Law: 3.4
Civil Procedure: 3.5
Property: 3.9
Legal Writing: 3.5

Overall Cumulative: 3.49

There is about 3 weeks left of summer classes and then he will officially have nothing to do for the summer. Unfortunately we have no house projects or anything like that for him to work on so I think he is going to get quite bored very quickly. I guess one thing he can look forward to is having lunch with me since I work 5 mins away from home! And it breaks up his day and forces him to see the outdoors, even if it is only for the 30 seconds it takes for him to walk to his car.

In two months we get to go on a much needed vacation to Las Vegas! Even though we will only be gone for a 4 day weekend, it's going to be a lot of fun! Not only are we staying in a suite in one of the fancy hotels on the Strip, we are going to a show as well. And if that doesn't top things off, we get to see my parents!! We are going to be celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary and my dad's birthday. The last time we saw my parents was back in November! It's been way too long...especially with all these holidays that have gone by. So that is the next big thing we are looking forward to.

We hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend! It was nice having three days off, especially since I spent these last two weeks fighting off a cold. Other than the non-stop coughing, nothing new and exciting has come up.

We are still waiting on Ross' grades to be posted. Apparently there were some problems with the company the school uses to grade the multiple-choice questions which has delayed the posting of grades. Right now he has only gotten a few back and we aren't sure if those grades represent the second semester only or are cumulative of both the first and second semester. So once all the grades are posted and we know whether they are cumulative or not, I will post them.

So far summer classes for Ross are going good. One class is Constitutional Law and the other is another writing class. This second writing class involves A LOT more writing than the ones he has taken so far, which is one of the main reasons he took it over the summer. In this class he has been learning about all the other types of documents that he is required to know how to write when he becomes a lawyer...like your contracts between your clients, acceptance letters and the such.

Work for me has been good. I'm starting my sixth week there and I am already busy working on various projects. Still getting to know the ropes and fully understand everything but it is definitely enjoyable. Last Wednesday I had to drive up to Los Angeles for work to have some papers certified at the Secretary of State office. Thankfully Ross was able to go with me and be my co-pilot which made the trip not only more enjoyable but it took away a lot stress.

Other than summer starting (which means hot weather...yuck) and waiting on grades from last semester, things are going great with us.
