I think one of the biggest problems for me is that it just never seems to let up. Once you think you get a handle on things, they hit you with a memo. You make your way back to feeling ok, and then you get your memo back. Since it's the first one you've ever written, it's marked up pretty good. Then once that's done, time to turn around and get to outlining and prepping for exams. Whew! When all is said and done it's a whirlwind of work and quite overwhelming. But, again, thanks for the encouragement. Thanks for the kind words.

Law school is a bit of a grind, but it's overwhelming for everybody. Just don't let that overwhelming feeling actually blow you out of the water. You’re going to be ok mate.

We wouldn't have been admitted to law school if the admissions staff didn't see something in us that assured them that we would graduate, get good jobs and make their school look good. I can definitely relate to feeling stupid in class. Today's contracts class was the first one all semester that I understood from beginning to end because I got help from a 2L this weekend and found a helpful supplement. Oh and those ppl who seem so brilliant, may not be :-). Finals are only a few weeks away but there's still time for it to all fall into place. Don’t let it kill you.
