Why write now?

Reaching the halfway mark of law school is a huge accomplishment. No matter how rough you had it, getting to the halfway point is a testament that you can handle your masochistic tendencies quite well from the average person. I decided to create a blog now because the second half of law school definitely gets interesting. I think writing from the prospective of a 1L might have been a bit ridiculous. I knew nothing and too much was going on with me to get a good handle on to make a coherent response to. In essence, I was still feeling things out and no one cares about that to be frank. Now 1.5 years somewhat wiser (or more cynical), I definitely am taking a more proactive approach to my law school career and my future career as an attorney. That is not to say I failed to before this point but rather I had a lot extenuating circumstances to deal with that I simply was just going through the motions to survive 1L. The next year and a half is so important for me that if I haven’t stepped my game up, I definitely should because my time is running out.

I definitely think that my second half of my law school career is definitely going to be interesting. At this point in my career, I will be taking on larger course load and move on to practical applications of everything I have learned in law school so far, i.e. a clinic and a law firm program. Aside from the academics, everything else that comes along with law school make it all the more interesting from social life to student government to externship placement and really just going to school in Michigan with our Canadian to the South - yes that’s right to the South; Detroit is the only city that is north of the Canadian border to the city of Windsor - should make it all the more interesting. On occasion, I will discuss sports because things outside of legal field to help maintain my sanity.

Have a comment, observations and or want to engage in the occasional verbal sparring? I am open to it all and look forward to hearing from you (the reader!)
