The Wall – Law School Semester Blues
Every law school semester is not created equal. Heck, week to week varies, but certain things are predictable. After class yesterday a friend mentioned to me that she seems to have hit that point in the semester where everything stops making sense and the amount of information to learn seems overwhelming. I haven’t hit that wall yet, but know it will come. It always does. Maybe it’s not a wall….maybe it is….I don’t know…something that just has to be ridden out and acknowledged, but you know you will get over. It is sort of a storm – you can’t see through it, and aren’t making any forward headway – but it will clear.
So – if you are coming up on that storm, or the storm is coming up on you – grab your rain gear and have faith that it will clear.
