After being in Minnesota now for a couple of months I feel like I am finally settling in. I know not to laugh when people say baag instead of bag like normal people or the normal response to how are you doing? Is nat too bawd. My alcohol coping mechanism has lightened up as well. Not that I'm a quitter but have just slowed down to normal speed. I feel like I fit in as well. It was kind of an unconscious need that I felt like that I didn't fit in. I felt that I was inferior because of whatever irrational thought could be. Then I had the epiphany of hey I'm in the same boat as all of these other kids. I'm as equally as smart, and in most cases better looking ;-) Everyone is smart in law school and its nice to know that I am able to hang (in most cases). I'm not afraid to be wrong. In fact, most times I am and its ok cause if a person gets law school their first time around they are a freak and should be quarantined and studied by scientist like the freak of nature that they are.
I would have to say that the place is growing on me. I took a stroll along the mighty Mississippi last weekend and enjoyed the fall colors. It was beautiful. I passed an old steel railroad bridge with its beam and rivet construction that was by oxidation showing its age a little bit. It was the contrast of the old bridge, the fall colors, and the crisp air that just felt good. The best part of it all is that it was something different view than the library.

About that alcohol coping mechanism, is that slowed to a normal speed for a law student/legal professional, or to the far slower rate of the general public? Also, it didn't get this cold and snowy til Nov. last year -sorry bout that. Keep on keeping on, you'll get through it.
