Cornell is a special kind of cruel.  Just when things get unbearably chaotic, there is this week long “fall break.”  Only, it’s not really a break, at least not for 1Ls.  Instead, we are advised to spend the week barricaded in a library cubical furiously outlining in an attempt to somehow prepare for finals, which loom ever-nearer and ever more frightening.  Well, I tried that, but my work ethic just isn’t what I hoped it would be.  I ended up goofing off, bumming around town, and trying my damnedest not to think about anything law related.  It felt AMAZING!  Therefore, I think it is official–law school is not for me.  I don’t fit in.  It’s not my crowd.  There are some really cool people here, but overall we come from different worlds and I really don’t give a damn about any of the things they seem to care so much about.  This was a huge mistake, and it feels SO GOOD to admit that to myself.  I’m leaving, and I’m never looking back.

Sorry to bail out on the blog, but I think there are far more entertaining writers out there.  In fact, there are three much more entertaining writers right here.  And I’m sure there will be an even cooler replacement for this failed attempt at “Ivy” life.  Meanwhile, I’m going to get my REAL life together, figure out just what to do with myself.  Call me crazy, but I’m thinking of buying a one-way ticket to someplace tropical, and never coming back.
