I was just reading this advice<\/a> to students who are starting their first year of law school. I wish this had been around back in 1995. When I entered law school, I thought it would just be a slightly more difficult version of college. And most of college had been extremely easy for me. I quickly discovered how wrong I was. It probably took me a whole year to learn how to think and study like a law student should. But that first year also served as a much-needed kick in the ass for me. I needed to realize that I wasn’t as smart as I thought I was and that there were lots of people smarter than me. That first year was also my first year away from home, so I attribute some of my poor performance to general “Doing Whatever the Fuck I Want” Syndrome.
\nThe Web can still weird me out sometimes. If you go here<\/a> and scroll down, you’ll see that I’m someone else’s footnote (except he spells my first name with the oh-so-European C).
