Again, long time no update.
A little something since last time:
I did end up getting accommodations due to the cognitive problems I'm still having in processing things as fast as my peers do. At first I was really embarassed and ashamed, but realized that they're offered for a reason. With 1/3 extra time and a private room to take my exams, I was able to finish on time and write efficiently. I managed to even get 3 B's my first semester! Goes to say- I should've taken my lawyer's advice initially and gotten accommodations. It would've been a lot less stressful and I could've avoided some heart break.
Well, I MADE IT THROUGH FIRST SEMESTER!! As rough as it was towards the end and despite the feeling that it was never ever going to end- it did! I'm alive! And, get this: I DID IT!
AND... I DIDN'T GET A THANK YOU FOR VISITING LETTER! :)
[That's what they send if you didn't make the cut to continue into the second semester.]
As time passes, I'm becoming more confident in myself, my abilities, and my feelings about my future. At one point in the past few years, I would have never thought I would have made it this far- but looking forward, I don't see any road blocks ahead stopping me from getting my law degree in 2 and a half years. :)
Spring semester starts first thing in the morning and I'm really excited to see what this semester holds as I face it full on.
