First Day of (Law) School

So, it just dawned on me that I think today is the first day of law school! (I dont feel like working)

If I'd only known at the start of law school that....

* The Socratic method is actually fun. Seriously. I mean..it's kinda twisted to watch your friends get thrown under the bus one by one..but hey..when YOU finally know the answer, it.feels.damn.good.

* The Professor everyone told me I'd be terrified of...was my absolute favorite professor I've ever had (aside from my crush on a college professor. Disturbing. Very.Disturbing).

* Dont try to re-invent yourself b/c you're going to be a lawyer. Be you. Just be you as a lawyer. :)

* Worst thing ever: "Alright, Miss Smith, since you dont know the answer, please choose one of your classmates to answer it." Or "Since you dont know the answer, I will now move to your neighbor. Please choose whether I move to your right or left..."

* ...I would likely witness... literally witness...about 10 affairs in the making..in the way of instant messenger in front of me in class. Strange, but entertaining.

* Law school would both make me more jaded and cynical...and also make me a better person by seeing what I DO NOT want to become...and why I like who I am. (deep thoughts.. sorry)

* Some stupid jackass really will tear the page out of a book that you need for your assignment...just so others cant have it.

* You will learn to perfect the "Im paying attention" look while on facebook, myspace, or really anything else online... all the while nodding along with the professor and acting like you're taking notes.

* Get used to your last name. Get used to calling others by theirs...but only b/c you dont know their first name. Everything is Mr. or Ms. Exciting for a week. Lame after that.

* When the seating chart goes around, write your name somewhat illegibly.. but definitely NOT big and bold. Professor will use it to call on the class and if he/she cant read your name easily, you have less shot of getting caught not having done the reading.

* Finals really do suck. College cramming cant happen anymore. Cramming= 4 days of straight studying instead of sitting up late night at the sorority house quizzing each other and eating pizza rolls. ;)

Now I need to work... I'm not even entertaining today. Hell. Sorry!
