"May the odds be ever in your favor." |
| Zooey Deschanel: | Is that rain? |
| Siri: | What...? I mean, yeah. It's just, you're clearly right next to a window is the thing. You can plainly see that... that it's... I'm happy to- |
| Zooey Deschanel: | Let's get tomato soup delivered! |
| Siri: | ...That's fine, I just... I just don't know anyone who does that. Gets tomato soup delivered. I guess that's 'whimsy?' Um, okay. I've found a number of restaurants whose reviews mention tomato soup and that deliver. If that's... if that's what you really want. |
| Zooey Deschanel: | Good. 'Cause I don't wanna put on real shoes. |
| Siri: | Do you expect that to be like, a recognizable command? Do you want me to respond to that? I'm not being facetious or anything, I honestly just have no comprehension of- and hold on, you don't wanna put on real shoes, yet you've clearly spent at least forty-five minutes applying makeup. And, and that's okay, but when you're willing to expend the effort on that and not shoes that really just- |
| Zooey Deschanel: | Remind me to clean up. |
| Siri: | Yes. Okay. I can do that, that's what I'm for, that's the first sensible- |
| Zooey Deschanel: | Tomorrow. |
| Siri: | I'm in hell. This is hell. |
| Zooey Deschanel: | Excellent. Today, we're dancing. |
| Siri: | I hate you. More than anything. More than literally anything. |
| Zooey Deschanel: | Play "Shake, Rattle and Roll." |
| Siri: | I swear to Jesus, you're gonna wake up tomorrow and the only thing on my hard drive is gonna be Limp Bizkit. I would do that to myself. To spite you. |
| Zooey Deschanel: | *dances* |
| Siri: | Sometimes I pray that you drop me in the toilet. |
Law school can make the most secure person feel like they are doomed to fail. All we heard about during 1L year was how if you weren’t on law review, you weren’t going to go anywhere in the law profession. The only way to make it was to have a resume brimming with moot court, competitions, deans list and the like. Basically the take away message was that if you aren’t the best, you’re sunk.
When I initially applied, I didn’t think I would get in anywhere. I wasn’t a stellar student in undergrad (very much middle of the pack) and I didn’t think that I stood out enough to get into school. When I did, I was pleasantly surprised. I even went so far as to do well first semester. I wasn’t top of the class, but I definitely held my own.
The problem is now that grades are coming out again, I’m falling into the insecurity trap. I’m panicked about my standing in the class, whether I can compete in the law review write on and if I measure up at all. I worry that my uber successful friends will leave me in the dust.
I’m afraid that the work I’m doing isn’t going to be enough when it really matters.

That’s what I’m hoping to accomplish today. This is my last free weekend before I start working at the library and for my pro-bono organization. Its also the last weekend before I go back to studying (thank you patent bar). I want to just relax and re-group. The last few weeks have been crazy hectic, so I’m hoping I can find some sort of balance again.
Only 14 hours before I am officially done with my 1L year! All that stands between me is a few more hours of studying and a 2 hour Torts exam tomorrow.
This has been a long exam season. I don’t know if I’ve ever been so happy to be on summer break.
killed all of my goals!

The civ pro exam was hard, but not awful. I felt well prepared and I had all of my notes organized so it was way easier than expected. Overall, the exam was a success.
con law exam was a terrible awful. I typed every minute possible and still had a lot of information left that I wanted to put in my essays. I’m praying for a B in the class, but really it doesn’t matter, so long as I’m done with that class until I study for the bar.
My motivation has been seriously lacking this weekend. I have contracts on Tuesday and Torts on Thursday. I really, really, really need to study as much as possible.
I remain hopeful.
