About Law School

I realized I haven't blogged about law school specifically since I started classes again. Perhaps that says something in and of itself, but I digress...

This is my last semester and I am taking 12 credits. I'm taking Con Law, Wills & Trusts, and 2 health law classes. It is actually a nice balance of classes and taking only 12 credits is going to be a nice break. I have previously taken 15, 14, 18, and 16.

My Con law class is relatively delightful. I have read most of the cases in previous classes and so I feel like I have a leg up on some of the other kids in my class. Also, my professor has a systematic way of asking questions and briefing cases. This makes my class preparation much less stressful since I know what kind of questions he'll ask. That is if I do my preparation. Today I did not. I was sitting in class trying to read ahead just in case he did call on me and praying that I wouldn't be called on. I was talking to a friend about it and she said that when she doesn't prepare for class, she gets tiny butterflies in her stomach every time the prof moves on to a new case. And as soon as he called out a name that wasn't hers, she'd breathe a sigh of relief. This is a very accurate description of my emotions today in class. I was fortunate not to be called on and will do my best not to try my luck again in the future. The more names he calls out that aren't mine, the more likelihood that mine is next on the list. I'm a 3L and really should know better than this.

More about some of my other classes later.

Currently I am in the computer lab and am surrounded by fellow law students. I realize more every day how little I like these people. I am getting less tolerant and bitchier everyday. I even told someone that his presence wasn't ABSOLUTELY mutually exclusive with having fun. I'm sinking lower every day.
