Guess What?

I was in school for approx 8 months before I realized that Susman Godfrey was not a person... they are two people. BAM! I mean it says, "Susman Godfrey Atrium". There are also rooms named, "Kraft W. Eidman Courtroom", "Joe Jamail Plaza" and so forth. All these people are ONE person, would it be any different for me to think that Susman Godrey was one person... I think not.

So apparently, the thought of my Torts final was just sooo rough for me that I blocked it out of my mind. I got my grade today, and it was a greeeeat grade, but I'm sitting here trying to remember the questions and I can't! I swore I had like failed that test, but I didn't...very very weird. The point being, is that I cannot remember anything about the test. I don't know how many questions were on the test, I can't even remember concepts. Honestly, I can't remember concepts from the GD class. Actually, I do think there was something about intentional torts on there... I think... lol. 4 more grades to go.

My teacher was being nice (I guess) and told us the grades were up so I felt it was necessary to check. Otherwise, unless I get a prompt that says my grades are up, I'm not looking. They aren't going to have my pressure up...sorry they just aren't.

T minus 3 and a half hours...

Until my last final is over and I am no longer a 1L. Oh my goodness. This needs to be over as soon as possible.

My advice to the future Class of 2011... well it's not advice really but just something to think about.... Everyone tells you that law school is hard and that it is one of the most stressful things that you will ever go through. Yeah, you have no idea. Everyone can tell you that it is stressful and difficult and emotional, but you will not truly understand how much until you go through it.

August-Oct. 31...they lure you into a false sense of security. You're like...I don't get what everyone is talking about. Yeah, come Nov 1...that'll change. And it's OK. It is what it is.

Also... anyone who says they truly enjoyed law school might have some issues. I don't think you are supposed to enjoy it. Its like a filtering device, just like the LSAT was and just like the Bar will be. In my class of 100... 5 have dropped out. It's rough man. This is not to say that I didn't enjoy myself this year, I met tons of cool people and learned a lot of really interesting things...but the actual school and finals experience is NOT pleasant.

I think it is all worth it in the end...but Class of 2011, please know what you are getting into. I would never try to discourage anyone from going to law school....but all I say is be prepared to feel the dumbest you have ever felt, the smartest you've ever felt, the craziest you've ever felt, the happiest you've ever felt (when you get that 1L job), and the most stressed you've ever felt all in the course of 9 months.

Now, lemme go assault this Civil Procedure test. I don't think Imma quite kill it... but Imma try to assault it pretty badly.
