Regional diversity...no. "Cultural" diversity...I guess that depends on how many country boys we wind up with.

Edit: Spelling.

Interested in going back to Cali to practice?
Not really. I'm over California. For the last 5 years I have nursed the desire to make Texas my home. Thank Heaven for UT!
I've visited Dallas and Houston. Dallas? 1 Thumb down. Houston? 2 Thumbs up.

With the kind of scholarship money UT is splashing around this year, I wouldn't be surprised if we have a very strong class. Did you pick up any scholarship money?

From looking at LSN, UT has been VERY generous with their money this year. Not to bring up an old topic, but they are putting a lot of their near competitors - namely GULC and Cornell - to total shame. It doesn't even look like UCLA and Vandy are really keeping pace. I am hoping for one hell of a class this year! (But oh, the competition...)
On to an unrelated subject, how is the housing hunt going for everyone?

I was telling my mom last night how nervous and excited I am to be attending school with so many smart people. I think my index is near the bottom of the class (according to LSN), so I'm worried about well I will compete for grades. I hope LSN and TLS are not representative of the whole class or else I'm in trouble.

If anything, there will surely be those who discover 6th Street and start gearing their efforts towards the wrong bar exam.
I do not, however, wish that upon any of my future classmates.

I'm not worried. Everyone--including our peers with 3.9+s & 175+s--will have to adjust to the new game that is law school. Certainly, some will "play" better than others, but I think the nature of the game gives almost everyone a fair chance to do well. I do take comfort, however, in the fact that some of my classmates will live for 6th street :).

Wow. I can't believe I've almost forgotten all about 6th, haha. I wonder how much is too much in terms of going-out in law school. I'm figuring I'll take one night per week to get my fun on, and maybe that'll keep me sane as I spend most of my other time in the library.
Anyone else have any thoughts on balancing Austin with law school?

Going out isn't a big thing for me, as I neither drink nor smoke. I do enjoy shooting pool, though, so I might occasionally endure smoke-laden air to shoot a few rounds. I intend to balance Austin with law school by exercising (indoor/outdoor), cooking, and meditating. If I have my way, I'll have my own place, with a nice kitchen. I'm still trying to create a super healthy yet tasty recipe for macNcheese.

Instead of spending money on 6th St., my fiance and I are going to rent a big house with a yard for our dogs and a big kitchen for some home cooking. Fellow TLSers are welcome to stop by for my own gourmet pizzas, made from scratch. (Said pizzas were mentioned in my PS and probably account for my scholarship.)

Are TLSers who reject an originalist interpretation of the US constitution welcome?Hahahaha
