I know I have some first years reading this blog. I don’t know if you will find this reassuring, or not, but probably. Last night during class I totally felt like I was somewhere in my first year again. I could barely track the conversation, the case I’d read only barely resembled the one the prof. was talking about, and I was so tired I really just wanted to go to sleep. Yup – sounds like first year alright! Fortunately, it only lasted for about 2/3 of the class and I felt almost experienced again as we neared the end of class. By the second class of the night, I was on top of my game again, and understood about 75% what our adjunct energy law prof was talking about! (Not a bad percentage for that class!)
So, if I had a point, I guess it is that sometimes, we all feel lost, but eventually, we find our way out of the dark.
Insider advice and insights to help you decide if you should pursue a higher degree while raising children, and tips for being successful if you're already on that path, from a woman who graduated from law school in her early 40's while working full-time and helping raise two young children. While most of the blog posts were originally written several years ago, they have recently been sorted for the most relevant materials, and new content is being added.
