I'm reading Prof. Andrew J. McClurg's book, 1L of a Ride. The first year of law school seems incredibly intense and formidable but also quite exciting. I've been working a low-stress job for the last three years and I'm ready for some stress and intellectual rigor. Law school will certainly provide that. Law school will also turn my life into a ball of business, much crunch, and lots of urgency.
I think I'm looking forward to it. I think. Ask me again in three months.
0L and 1L and beyond! This is happening for realz!
I'm moving!
About Me
- Laura
- **** http://lauramcwilliams.wordpress.com **** It’s been a long haul to law school. I studied fine arts at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Ask me about Detroit sometime. I have lots of theories and a few stories but don’t really understand the city. Detroit chased me out and I can tell you about that, too. I’m studying law at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, Mass. I am a frayed and nibbled survivor in a fallen world, and I am getting along. Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
Really? Law?
The conversation goes something like this:
Random friend: "I hear you're going back to school."
Laura: "Yup!"
R.F.: "What are you going for?"
L.: "Law."
R.F.: *pause*
R.F.: "Really?"
R.F.: *pause*
L.: [wait for it]
R.F.: "Law?"
