FRICK!!

Today was a rough day; I felt exactly the same way as I did during the Tax Final. Well, maybe not that badly. Nevertheless, a couple of times I considered packing up my computer, going home to Westchester, and never again coming to Brooklyn. What frustrates me the most is the fickleness of law school grading/exams. I feel like I spent half of the fact pattern just figuring out what the hell happened. Aside from the Secured Transactions exam, I feel that the the other two tests hit me like a freaking truck. Well, so it goes. I suppose it could be much worse.

Overall, Law School has been pretty damn disappointing.

I’ve always been an underachiever. In high school my GPA was artificially low because I did not want to be constrained by the heuristic devices employed by teachers. Instead, I chose to do the reading, but not the journal entry, to do well on the test, but neglect to do the homework. That was my way, I suppose, of saying SCREW YOU society.

In college I worked pretty damn hard (nothing like this) but anyone who was friends with me in college knows the ethic that I put into my studies. I actually did pretty well, I didn’t graduate cum laude because my GPA was artificially low thanks to a dismal first year as a pre-med. I was an A/B+ student all the other years, however.

When I graduated I felt pretty damn good about my capabilities and in my mind, law school was just the final step to a career in some sort of professional endeavor. Instead, I have never felt so despondent about my potential to succeed in the “grown up” world. I feel like a donkey that showed up to a horse race.

Anyway, one and done (except for a paper).

PEACE
