1). LLM classes should be a breeze. All of my exams will be pass/fail oral or written exams. There is no required reading/books. The profs hand out excerpts from articles/books and read them to us in class (I'm pretty sure we've eviscerating a small forest in the first week) and we discuss our opinion on them. I honestly don't know how to take notes on what we go over.
2). Other Botticelli flavors are just as good as pistachio. Had amarillo gelato which tasted like generic delicious (maybe birthday cake?). Can't wait to return.
3). The gym is far too small. The school size is about 3x Emory's size with a gym half as big as ours. :(
4). People in the LLM programs seem to cluster with people from the same country. Not an absolute rule, but a somewhat unfortunate fact of life.
5). Went to a dynamite pub tonight called Cobblestone. They had traditional Irish music and singing. It's only a few blocks away and easily the most enjoyable experience I've had so far. This is what you would picture as your typical cozy/warm/joyful pub (sadly it's not typical at all). Can't wait to return!
6). Pro tip: whatever people are drinking at a pub, you should drink the same. This was discovered the hard way when a group of us went to a trendy bar where most people had beer in bottles (this is a bad sign). When in Rome.....
7). I want to go to Disney so bad I'm going to explode. I literally think about it everyday; it's becoming a problem with only one solution (not Disneyland Paris)
8). Things I miss: Publix, my car, Mega Taco, humongous dryers which de-wrinkle clothes, Montana Freedman, Tuesday night trivia, going to hockey games on short notice, being able to go to Harvest Moon Ball (as Antoine Dodson), fam & friends
Things I love: being able to walk anywhere, the roommates, new peeps, gelato, Guinness, the sense of adventure.
Love and Rockets,
Douggie Fresh
