Met with my Career Services counselor today - eehhhh! She was very nice, answered almost all of my questions. Just not as proactive as I would have liked. It was more about her wanting to answer any questions I had and not so much offering advice or asking me leading questions to determine how best I could be served.
So, this is it - the main crappy part of law school - in class, at career services, in the book - no one wants to give you the answer!!! Professor Contracts calls it "hiding the ball"!!! Have you ever asked someone a question, like imagine going to a restaurant and asking the waitress, "Do you have the Sea Bass today?" and she responds, "Well, based on the your last experience here, did you ask that same question? Well, what was the response then? And was it around the same time as it is now? And what about that situation is different than this?".....AAAAHHHH!!! And then even when you come up with the answer, the Prof still might say, "I see..."! So hard to learn that way - and I cannot understand how that is at all helpful!
Personally, I am beginning to beleive 1st year is about making it soo unbelieveably hard and combining that with the impossible task of achieving the highest grades so that people freak out and quit!! I mean, think about it - we have 1 semester!!! That is IT!!! If you don't get over a 3.4 I would say, you are forever out of the runnning for HALF of the law school experiences!!!
More later...
