I don't understand, but that may be because I am older as well. I am lucky that I don't live any where near my law school and the folks here are pretty accepting of an older gal. An incident my first semester (http://legalnumbness.blogspot.com/2007/10/stereotype-of-law-school.html) really upset me. I am not sure how I got over it. Maybe part of it was that for some of them, I felt sorry for them. I would never go back to my early to mid-twenties. And, a little part of me whispers, part of it might be that I feel a little superior (yeah, I shouldn't, but sometimes I am that shallow). <br /><br />Anyway, keep your chin up. It may not get better, but it is only 3 years. Luckily, I have found most attorneys simply leave their LS selves behind.Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525246852660691811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146538735041356543.post-26081019503442927822009-11-09T07:33:19.704-08:002009-11-09T07:33:19.704-08:00If you can't say "yay" for much else...If you can't say "yay" for much else right now, at least you can say "YAY!" for flowers! I only received flowers for no reason from a guy one time. And actually there was a hidden reason behind them, he wanted in my pants. We weren't even dating yet. Oh well. I totally know how weird it can feel to receive things like that but totally enjoy it! I wish more people were in the habit of doing nice things for no reason, other than to be nice. <br /><br />Man, 2L year does suck and I wouldn't go back to it for anything but you WILL survive and it will all be good in the end- take it from a person with barely acceptable grades and no sanity left. :)CPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049860284871030328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146538735041356543.post-73275339354738571862009-10-24T12:50:24.765-07:002009-10-24T12:50:24.765-07:00Thank you for blogging about your experiences.

Instead of typing notes, taking notes, or doing research, guaranteed you will end up shopping online, chatting with your new law school buds on AIM/Gchat, or perusing some other unmentionable sites (coughfacebookcough).<br /><br />If you have a hearty sense of discipline - bring it.

Sure it's great to have someone to share your victories with, but sometimes we have to be selfish. Don't be afraid of that. Stand tall and know that you did something for yourself. Maybe you feel that it might not have been the right decision for right now, but it probably was in the long run. <br /><br />I promise you that at the end of these 3 years you will find yourself stronger for having to stand on your own through the good and the bad. (I only say this because I too went into law school with a solid relationship thinking that it would be steady and strong enough to last. It didn't make it past the end of first semester. But here we are 3 years later, and through the good times and bad I have learned to stand strong even when the world spun around me and tried to knock me down.) You can do it too. You will (eventually) be a better person for having survived all of this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977825993199978209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146538735041356543.post-49993673949825715162009-07-14T10:48:04.359-07:002009-07-14T10:48:04.359-07:00Thank you for being so honest.
