Whoops

It's been a while since I last posted...

Last semester was my best semester grade wise (though, that's not saying much). I'm still near the middle of my class. My friend, her strategy was to drink most nights before her final, ended up with her best grades of the semester and I believe broke into the top 20% of the class, so, there you go. The classes she studied the most for, she did the worst in and vice versa. Fortunately for me, the classes I studied the most for, Constitutional Law and Basic Tax, ended up being my best grades this semester and my best grades in law school yet. Still, I didn't study this semester nearly as much as I did as a 1L, so the incentive to work my ass off and study more this semester just isn't there.

I do have a job. I'm going to be doing some legal research for an attorney in town (hopefully interesting stuff) and I am also working at the courthouse too. We'll see exactly what that will entail, but probably stuff I can't blog about, which is fine too. Especially seeing how much I do blog.

Hopefully everyone else had a great semester.

I'm not taking anything too terribly interesting this semester - another tax class, evidence, a class on the environment and one on mental disability and the law (these two are my "interesting" classes, but the environmental law class has just turned out to be a bore so far) and a UCC class for the bar. So, exciting times my friends, exciting times...

Hello there

I think my blog may (probably) have been found through my twitter account. Whoops. I'm not entire sure if this will change anything.

Anyway...

To any 0L reading this: Law school is tough. It's extremely stressful. You might find yourself thinking, "Yes, I've heard this before, but I'll be different. It will be different for me." The thing is, you're probably going to be wrong. And that's okay. You're not going to the only one struggling/feeling incompetent, you're not the first one, and you're not going to be the last one.

I say this because, once those first semester grades come out... it makes law school so much tougher. Actually, not true if you're in the top 25% of the class (which I am not, but many of my friends are...), but for everyone else, it gets worse. For the past month, since grades came out, I've been in a fog, a heavy, depressing, crying-induced, stressed out, exhaustive fog. It's only now that I'm being to feel it lifting, but I still feel dumb many times that I'm in that building, many times when I'm around my friends who did extremely well. You just can't let it keep you down.

Well, I don't know what I intended with this post, but I know what I'll end it with...



puppy!

And that is all I've got.
