One and done

After the end of the first semester, I've decided to retire the blog. I hope you've enjoyed reading, and that you have some greater understanding of how the first semester of law school goes.

As the last post indicates, the grades in law school remain a mystery to me. There are other narratives out there about how shocking it is to receive mediocre grades, and I don't really have any else to add to those. In the context of that disappointment, I find that it's hard to write about law school anymore. I'm not quitting law school itself, and I expect that I'll still have gainful employment at the end of the three years. But right now, it's hard to feel anything positive toward law school after all that hard work yielded such poor results. Blogging about semester #2 just doesn't seem right -- I'm afraid that there would be an aftertaste of bitterness in everything I'd write, which wouldn't be healthy for the writer or interesting for the reader. Plus, as last semester's outcome demonstrates, I obviously need to be spending even more time studying. So the blog is one of the casualties of that reorganization.

It's been a fun experiment for a semester -- thanks for reading!
