One month into law school. It’s too easy to say that things have more or less reached equilibrium point. There are days when preconceptions are shattered and the system takes me by surprise. If a “pattern” can be obtained at all, then it’s probably like Kubler-Ross’ theory on death.
DENIAL:
Surely we aren’t expected to read ALL THOSE READINGS!
ANGER:
Damn that professor…damn him to hell!
BARGAINING:
Maybe she won’t call us if we wear the right clothes…
DEPRESSION:
I am a stupid person for botching that recit. I should transfer to
ACCEPTANCE:
I really can’t do anything about it. I might as well do my darndest and take whatever comes.
The problem is, I think I’m “dying” in all five subjects. So while I’m still in denial in Crim Law, I’m already hopping mad over Constitutional Law, and depressed over Family and Persons. It’s not that I want to “die”. The acceptance of death is the first step to engaging life with authenticity. I only wish it would come in a sychronized fashion, because death is hard enough as it is without doing it all over again

One thing I learned from the limited law subjects in college I took (Civil Code, Family Code, Consti)…is throw away preconceived notions of what is right. All that matters is what is written. The law.
And yes reading will eat up most of your time.
