Soul-crushing

I've come to realize why everyone and their mom hates and complains about law school.

We all refuse to give up our lives for school. Some of us say that we have no lives, but yes, we do spend time watching tv, going out to bars, socializing...and trying to maintain that semblance of life that we had in undergrad.

But law school is not Smith College...unfortunately for me.
And law school is about making sacrifices...at least for the next two-and-a-half years. We all told ourselves that we could handle these sacrifices, which is why we agreed to come here.

I will stop being angry at professors for assigning so much work for the "weekend" because, really, this is what I'm here to do.

So, now I will return to the Sales reading that I neglected to do this past week (I had a memo that I chose over reading) and not complain about the stress and annoyance of it...I brought it on myself.

When people tell you law school is hell, don't think you can skirt your way around that hell.
