I got my class schedule in the mail a few days ago. That’s what’s so cool about law school – they tell you what you take, when you take it, and whom you take it from. It’s like I’m paying them to tape my eyelids open and show me scary movies for fifteen hours a week. What a deal! For the first year, at least. I think we get more leeway for years two and three.
So here it is. My Life For The Next Four Months:
Legal Research and Writing: WF 12:40-2:10
Criminal Law: TTH 10:30-12:00
Contracts I: TTH 12:50-2:20
Torts I: MWF 9:50-10:50
Civil Procedure: MWF 2:30-3:50
Orientation starts the 11th, and I’ve heard horror stories about the first day. Mean, Scary, and Ancient law professors will come out of the woodwork and tell us we’ll have to spend 40-60 hours a week studying just to keep our heads above water. I don’t wanna be a smartass or anything on day 1, but how is that any worse than spending 40-60 hours a week in a cube? Acting like I was working for that many hours a week took dedication, talent, and persistence.

<i>sit in class, take notes, look awake, and take a final</i> Yes, exactly. Like I said, more than you had to produce at your former job.

i think the main difference is that unlike your previous job, you will actually have to produce something in the 40-60 hours you put in at law school. your free ride is over. at least until you graduate - then i'm sure you can angle your way back into another cushy do-nothing, get-paid job.
