... and it wasn't half bad!
I think my first day of law school was destined to go well considering the night and morning I had leading up to it! I really really had a great time hitting the town last night and I woke up snuggled in between my boyfriend and a puppy... does life GET any better?!
I don't really have much to say other than that the experience was exciting and intimidating all at the same time. After a summer of feeling my brain turn to much, I liked the feeling of engaging all those brain cells once again, this time in a completely different and completely new way. For the most part my classes were interresting and a bit confusing and I once again found the law students to be friendly and kind and helpful.
Its funny how it has ALREADY become apparent who certain personalities are in the class. How there's people who feel the need to respond to everything and comment on everything and answer every question. It seems like those same people are also the ones who already speak like lawyers. I'm trying to not let it intimidate me. In talking to a few of my non-super sophisticated speaking classmates this afternoon someone made the point that they don't want to talk like that... at least not all the time... and that their family, friends, clients don't really want to hear them talk like that either, which is kind of an interresting thought. I feel that in order to do this job you have to be able to connect with those who don't know all the legal jargon, and I wonder if these type of people CAN switch off the lawyer-speak long enough to convere with a non-lawyer... especially if they're already talking like that, after only day 1.
