Hey y'all! So, the initial law school terror I've been experiencing over the last few weeks has started to fade, and dare I say it? I'm actually feeling confident about the work/studying I've been doing. I've officially been a NOLA resident for a month now, and man is it crazy how much your life can change in such a short amount of time! Here's a little peak c/o my instagram of my life in NOLA so far.
After the first week of getting settled, I've pretty much spent 85% of my waking hours somehow related to school. Now I will say, I expected law school to be tough. The subject, the stress, the long hours, the competition, and the constant anxiety about looking like an idiot. Well, two weeks into class and I have to say so far law school hasn't been too bad. If you're not familiar law professors use the Socratic Method to teach you. Essentially they cold call on you and try to make you look like an unprepared idiot. Fun right? This aspect of law school definitely had me the most nervous. Well. I got cold called. At the very beginning of my very first torts class. Honestly, I think that was the scariest moment of my life. My mind went completely blank and my stomach was instantly in my throat. I completely butchered the ruling of the case, which is kind of the point of reading cases, but you know what? I lived. And I realized that it's really not all that bad. And, yeah there are going to be plenty of stress filled days, but there's also plenty of time (for now at least) to have some down time. So yay for that! Now for y'all, hopefully that means you'll actually see me around this here blog more than I thought! And I'll actually have time to read y'alls blogs too!

Yay! Enjoy it! Despite all the work and stress, law school was actually some of the most fun I've ever had. I started my blog in law school as my procrastination and read blogs all the time and it was a nice distraction.
Cold calling sucks, but yeah, you lived and the thing is... everyone will butcher something once and unless something about it was truly epic no one will remember.
So glad that it's going well so far! I would be so nervous about cold calling! It kind of makes me think of Legally Blonde :) I know that's not exactly what Law School is like but I love the movie nonetheless!
Yay law school! Looks like things are going well {and you're keeping stylish!}. I'm sorry school is so crazy, but it's all going to be worth it! can't wait to follow your adventures!
Yay!! Tort!!
