lol keep that mindset going in but you wont have that mindset coming out. i was like u once, enthusiastic, keen and then i went to law school i became bitter and distracted and wanted to find a way out of it.

if i could suggest one thing for you is to go work free at any legal aid organisaiton in your town and see whether it suits you or either if you have connections, get an internship learning legal business admin. while you work and get paid if you can get one. the thing with law school is that there are the high achievers, the low achievers and the ones that fall behind - classify me as this group. there are thousands of people there that think that once they finish their degree, graduate and all that jazz that they will enter the courts and argue million dollar law suits and class actions- the truth can never be so wrong. like any other job, you start from the bottom, spoken down to, ignore when you pose your opinion, rarely comforted, treated like a piece of shit, do the dirty work for others and genrally people are scared shitface that you will take their jobs. this is all on top of working a 60 hour week, sitting down all day, ocassionally going out for errands, answering phones, emails, getting harassed all day from clients calling u fucking names like queer etc. and its an art to keep your sanity in the madhouse that it is. sure u make jokes, u chill out and u begin to get distracted. and then you get your daily monthly appraissal, with the boss calling you out for all the shit u dont wrong and all that crap while you co-worker who is too much of a bitch to tell you to your face what youve been doing al wrong, is always running to the boss like a little bitch telling him/her that you're incompetent and they both interrograte you and grill you for an hour. you come out worse for wear, beaten down, attempt to finish off some work, go home lousy pissed angry, alone and sad and you cry yourself to sleep and wonder how the fuck can i go into work tommorrow if these people dont even want me around, you're a used commodity, a waiting timebomb they can throw away at any rate and they know it because its a cut throat industry and your only best if you can multitask, multi-deliver, take short lunches or none at all, be delegated to, sniffed at, made fun of when you're not around. so what do you?

i tell you what you do. u fucking fight back. when she/he tells you that they are going to let you go, you fight back. tell them you dont care about the money, its about the experience. tell them to give you a month and if you can't do the work or wont improve, then they can tell you to fuck off. but not at the cost of being humiliated like you did, u take away their shit test and start arguing back and leave them both stunned.

:sips:

anyways if its for you it might be a good thing but dont be all fucking jolly about going to law school because i see a lot of miserable people there wondering why they wasted their life and time away for all this. and all these losers thinking they are so smart but when it comes to the real world, you're streets ahead of them and thats what you can use to your advantage.

:sips:

law school is hard work, yeah you have to be a nerd, think like one even if you arent, work like one, kiss ass like one to the teachers, be friends to nerds so that you can trade ideas with them and cheats notes and sit in class all bored on your laptops looking at porn, wondering why the fuck wont this guy shut the hell up. you hand your work in late on time, get average grades and the cycle goes on and on and you wonder shit am i going to die here. yeah probably. u gotta be thick skinned or you drown and quit like so many before you.
