Back to School

Jake is back in school but I am not sure if he is back into the swing of things yet. Classes were only the last 3 days of the week his first week back. The next week was Civil Rights day so only 4 days of classes. He finally had a full week of class but on Friday the 2nd of 2 classes was cancelled so it was only a half of a half day. This week would have been a full week except Denver University (specifically the Law School) closed down on Tuesday because of the cold temps. His last class on Monday was cancelled so when a professor walked in to inform the class some of the students, mostly those from Utah or Wyoming asked why if there wasn't that much snow (less than 2 inches). They were told because the school doesn't need any law suits, especially from law students who have recently learned about negligence, prudent care, etc. 

He seems to be handling the time off alright. He spends quite a bit of time (what I really mean is at least 40 hours a week) at the school, whether there are classes or not. He and some friends from his classes study together and work on outlines in study rooms on campus. Though Ellie and I would love to have him here more, it's probably best since we can be very distracting. Well, mostly Ellie because she wants his highlighters, tries to read his books which usually means torn pages or lost spots, wants to type on the laptop, etc. She is a big help with studying.

We are proud of how hard he is working and we hope that he does well this semester. We were proud of how well he did his first semester even though he is being hard on himself. ;) Love you Jake. Keep up the good work and remember to back up your hard drive.
