Yep. At this point I'm almost even looking forward to it.

If anyone is interested, I am closing on a brand new three bedroom house on Monday...about 10 miles south of campus down 35.

CC, I'll live with you.

Also, does anyone know when we have to have our tuition paid by? I wanted to make sure that my loans are deposited in time & everything. Not too sure how this stuff works, seeing as this is my first student loan & all.

Don't our loans go straight to the school then they give us what's left over after tuition + fees?

Tuition is due during orientation, I think.

Thanks, yeah, I just called up Sallie Mae & that's what they told me; we don't have to do anything, so that's good.

& I went ahead & searched the UT calendar & got this info if it's helpful to anyone:

Yeah, UT Law orientation is mostly worthless. The only redeeming aspect of it is being able to meet people.

I just got TWC's Roadrunner Turbo, which I assumed was a scam, as I didn't think it had any chance of running at 22 down / 2 up. But I tested it yesterday and it exceeded that, 26/2. Awesome. I recommend it highly.

Wowzers, what does that run you? Any reason you need something that fast? Planning on running a Slingbox?

I get either the first three months or 6 months, can't remember, at 45, then it goes up to 60.

I definitely don't need it, but I'll use it. I'll be downloading .iso files for fun.

I figured I'd resurrect this thread to see how everyone's liking UT so far. I definitely am, cool people & I have good profs. Anyone else?

Lovin it. An afternoon of con law reading followed by dinner at Hula Hut and Batman at the Imax. Doesn't get much better.

It's been real good so far. Having no Friday class is strange...the weekend seems to last forever. I'm sure in 2 months I will be thankful for the extra 24 hours to get work done...

I love it so far. The long weekends are perfect for law school. Writing is a joke, so it's like we only have three classes, and none of my profs are bad at all, only one even calls on people and you know what day. And of course Austin is great!

All 3 of mine call on random people...but it's not all that bad.
