Week 1 of Law School = DONE
Honestly, this week was rough. However, I did treat myself to a 2 hour nap (shoutout to self-care) after classes today before it was time to start my weekend homework.
Side note: I woke up Monday with what I thought was a cold or some virus that’s going around. It was awful, but the combination of natural remedies I tried seemed to do the trick and I was just about all healed on Tuesday. Thank The Lord.
Here are MY thoughts following MY first week:
The workload is HEAVY, and some material is confusing.
I’ve been doing homework or studying almost every single moment I’ve been awake including in between classes and in the morning before my commute to campus. The exceptions are when I’m driving or showering. If I happen to check my phone for a 5 minute cram session of what I’ve missed in Big Brother, I feel guilty.
It’s pretty funny how accurate the law school personality type descriptions are. However, beware of the toxic energy. If it’s only day 3 and you’re openly complaining about not knowing anything (most of us don't; it’s the middle of the first week) and not finding time to shower, we’re going to assume that you just want attention.
As a black female and decent human being living in 2018, DO NOT feel comfortable expressing your misogynistic and homophobic comments to me. They're not funny and I AM NOT THE ONE. Clearly.
I already feel guilty about not communicating with my parents every day.
I only had time to go to the gym once this week, but I know that’s an activity I’m going to have to fit into my list of priorities.
So even though this week was a struggle and felt like a month, I still feel positive about my decision to go to law school. For me, this goal has always been more about the title. It’s what I believe is part of my purpose in this world, and this journey is going to require reminding myself of that.
