First Day of Law School Musings

Amid all the confusion of the "first day of my law career" as the notable Dean so succinctly put it, there were a few memorable highlights. I was not the oldest, chubbiest or the student with the most grey hair. I was not the unfortunate student with pink hair and a unicorn backpack (really?). I was quite possibly the best dressed student donning wool tweed slacks, a baby blue Oxford and of course, my Ralph Lauren wool blazer. I was truly appalled by how some of the students dressed and the casual demeanor they assumed. Clearly, some of the students did not read Law School Confidential as advised because several made the huge faux pas of stating "...I think..." to wit the Professor replied he did not care what they thought. I am quite certain that I will not like the Socratic method when I am called upon as I saw my cohorts grilled mercilessly trying to answer questions for which there is no one clear cut answer. And finally, there is a ton of reading and analyzing which I knew going in, but in reality, the reading is more intense than anything I have ever read so I am unable to process the information expeditiously. Class starts in an hour and I cannot wait to see what the day brings. Oh, and the Professor is really cute!
