I entered these gates a lifetime ago. The last few summer months made me both wiser and more ignorant of the law all at once. I flash my ID while running to a crammed elevator, awkwardly and unintentionally brushing against my colleagues, sending bad thoughts to the lazy person who stops on the 1st floor, and eventually reaching the 6th. Everyone is trying to get back into the groove of school. My thoughts are racing…
“Will the first class last the whole two hours?”
“Will the professor spend far too much time on the syllabus?”
“Will I know anyone?”
“Will I make a fool out of myself today or later in the semester(it happens to everyone in law school, so the question is not one of if, but when)?”
“Did I read thoroughly enough for the first class?”
“Did I remember my laptop charger?”
“I need more coffee… already.”
No matter how prepared, ignorant, wise or recharged I have become… one thing is clear. It is back to school for me.
When did my playground become a library and recess become study group?
Well written. Seems like a professional post. :)
ReplyDeleteSucks you have to back to school though. Playtime is over.
