And dingbat, I just don't know what to expect, and what I need to do to help him. He has started a few of his classes and when he tells me how scared/nervous he feels, all I can say is 'I believe in you, yes it will be hard but you can do it'. I feel kinda helpless not being able to do anything. In his first class the prof said she can only give A's to 10% of students and if they can pull off a 3.0 that is quite a feat. He needs a 3.2 to maintain his scholarship, which we really need. I understand that we won't be able to talk on the phone for hours and my visits will probably consist of cleaning his apartment and taking care of things he doesn't have time for (like stocking him up on leftovers). I just feel like I should be saying/doing something more to help, because he has barely started and all I hear about are the nerves and how hard everything is.

Haha and I'm not in Texas, Ohio actually, and we've decided to postpone all ring/marriage talks until we both graduate so we can focus on school.

Tell him to drop out of law school because that school sounds like one of those miserable Ohio TTTs like Case, and your boyfriend has a high chance of unemployment, in which case y'all will break up.

And we actually both want to work in Cleveland, which is why he chose to attend school there. And we knew he needed a 3.2 to maintain his scholarship, but it covers almost 90% of his tuition so it seemed reasonable. What we didn't know is that the profs aren't allowed to give more than 10% of students As, which makes attaining such a high gpa even harder.

That's not a bad deal as long as he maintains te scholarship. Does he have a plan of he doesn't keep it?

Find out what the curve is (ie what class rank he needs)
Then browse through every thread on succeeding 1L year, pick the parts most suitable for his personality and make him read if while orientation is in full swing - as of the end if the week he won't have time to read them anymore



also, I'm really surprised no one has mentioned anything sexual yet...

That is a great idea, I'll do it tonight after work. Thank you so much. Aaand yeah we were living together before he moved to his new apartment for school and even if nobody's mentioned it I knew when he was applying I was saying goodbye to my sex life. It happens. We have the rest of our lives, a few years won't kill us. Right? (>.<)

And I actually already had him set up some meetings to find out what other money the school will give him if he can't keep a 3.2
