It’s interesting how law school can suck you in.  I think I’ve posted twice on this blog since the fall semester began, and ironically I’m posting now just before finals.  I told myself that I would maintain balance in my life during school and keep posting on gimme-five to allow myself to breathe.  Well, I’ve kept some balance but gimme-five has not received much attention.

Law School is very, very different from undergrad.  For one, there’s a CURVE.  The average grade for every class must be a B-.  Thus, you can look at things in two ways.  One: you are graded based on how well you do relative to everyone else.  This is the optimist or autonomy view.  Two: you are graded based on how well everyone else does compared to you.  This is the view of the out-of-control pessimist.  I need to stop thinking like the second.

But regardless of how you look at things, the competition is real.  Someone has already stolen a required book that my section needed during the semester for our legal writing class.  That was pretty lame.
