First Law School Challenge
The spirits which call to order all things uncontrolled and uncontrollable in law school are mocking me before I even officially walk through the doors. Yesterday my class schedule for the fall semester arrived in my Gmail account. Needless to say I have been eagerly anticipating its arrival feeling as if it somehow solidified my acceptance just that much more. Upon reviewing my assigned schedule of "13A" I was immediately horrified by the notion of having to not only be in class, but actually functioning at 7:45am. Clearly that have me confused with a Buchs child whose name begins with M (you can pick either, it applies equally). The excitement of having my schedule in hand quickly deflated and I contemplated what this seemingly small decision on the part of some unknown administered has done to my life. 7:45 in the MORNING! This puts the socratic method in a whole nother light. I probably won't even know I don't know the answer, that my professor is ridiculing me, or my peers making fun of me. Because I'll still be asleep. (Oh, in case you are wondering, no, everyone does not have class at 7:45am, just us lucky ones. Other people get to start at a much more reasonable 8:50am. But not me, no not me.) Thankfully my next class doesn't begin until 11:00 am, so outside of Torts I should be able to handle what is to come. My small section course is Intro to Civil Procedure I, which without knowing anything at all seems like a good course to have with a smaller group of people. Mondays will be my longest day of the week, which also seems more positive than negative, as I will have my research and writing course on this day only. I have 17 credits divided into 4 credit-courses in Torts, Substantive Criminal Justice (or something like this), Contracts, and Civil Procedure; and one credit in research and writing.
