“So, I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me.” —Charles Dickens

All my exam and memo marks are in, and I passed all my classes with better grades than I ever dared to hope for. On Monday, it will have been one year since I wrote my LSAT. Someone tell her that the light-soaked days are coming.

Things my law school profs have said out of context: winter semester edition

- We can’t have everything someone says be contractually binding. What would the politicians do?

- Class is cancelled Tuesday. I will be in a four hour Zoom meeting with people I don’t really want to talk to

- One sexual act to rule them all

- Key message: be depressed rather than hopeful

- Oh morally he’s a bastard

- The question is not whether you could get sued. It’s whether you could be sued successfully

- It’s not a crime to want somebody dead

- So we’re sitting around discussing exculpatory clauses, as people do

- I added the underline there just to make it *~fancy~*

- March is the month when everyone in [insert locale here] convinces themselves “It’ll be nice when it gets to March”, and then March comes and beats us down like rats

- Where am I going with that? Sorry, thought evaporated. Cancel that.

- We’ll see it’s actually not quite difficult. I don’t know what my problem was

- And here is where…I despair. I don’t despair often, but every time I look at this, I have no clue what’s going on here

- I might actually be sad when it’s gone because I love complaining about it

- Maybe Parliament is pretty nice anyway. But, it turns out they’re not.

no more of the agonies. have you seen the wonders

“O gift of God! O perfect day: / Whereon shall no man work, but play; / Whereon it is enough for me, / Not to be doing, but to be!”—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Mostly dead, yet slightly alive, I have officially finished my first semester of law school! I’ve learned a lot, had fun with friends, landed a summer job at a law firm downtown, and been paralyzed with anxiety—yet here I am.

Listening to:

Work Too Much—Julia Michaels

“Don't Panic. It's the first helpful or intelligible thing anybody's said to me all day.” —Douglas Adams

I spent the day in classes, doing readings for division of powers tomorrow, and failing trying not to become overwhelmed. Found a neat little sketch in a study room too.
