Almost three weeks in...

Okay, so I managed to sneak into the main room for the Breyer speech on Monday.  He is an engaging speaker and an amazing man.  He reminded me a lot of Marcus Borg, a Jesus scholar who used to teach philosophy classes at OSU and debate about Christianity in his spare time.  Borg has an infectious sort of charisma and Breyer is much the same.  That being said, I thought his speech, which revolved around the Dred Scott case, was mediocre.  He belabored the facts of the case too much and didn't get to his main point until last two minutes.  I wanted to hear him talk more about the Supreme Court as it is made up today and we didn't get much of that.

After my Constitutional Law class tomorrow, I will officially have finished three weeks of law school.  I haven't dropped out in favor of dental school yet but it has been interesting to watch my classmates.  At this point, there are basically three groups of people.  The first group (like myself) are leaning to love the law and really enjoying testing their mental capacity and trying to think in a new way, the second group are treading water and still trying to find their way, and the last group already are teetering on the brink of burnout.  It is going to be a long eight months for those people who are already complaining about law school every chance they get.
