As I write this, I am less than one week from completely wrapping up and putting a stamp on my law school career. Finally. Spent most of this week finishing up take home finals and writing papers that serve no real world purpose. If the people in the take home finals fact patterns came to me and asked that I be their attorney -- I would laugh and show them to the door. I don't have time for the insane people professors conjure up for exam questions. This just illustrates how much of a joke law school really is. It's kind of sad actually.
Anyways, as my academic career (and yes, "career" is the right word) comes to a close, I look back on what I have not learned, and find myself somewhat disgusted. How in the world did the education system let me skate without having taken a math class? Granted, i have no need for calculus or even algebra in everyday life -- but come on, I am going to be someone's lawyer -- and I haven't taken a math class since my freshman year -- of HIGH SCHOOL. I guess Zack Morris was right -- everything is a negotiation, and if you play right --you never have to do what you don't want to do. Amazing to me the valuable lessons I learned from SBTB (Saved By The Bell, for those of you not in the know).
So . . . the random meanderings of my twisted mind aside -- I am now going to get serious about this blog and allow it to serve as a journal for what life is really like during bar prep. If you are thinking about going to law school, read those sections (when done) and ask yourself if after 3 years and $100k you really want that kind of shit in your life.
If you are in law school, well it's too late for you. Just spend your time figuring out what your favorite drink is and how to order it at a bar quickly and with effficiency. For example, if you are me it's -- "Hangar. Double. Neat." See how easy that was?
