Rainy Day Musings

I am starting to think that spending years abroad has altered me in ways that I do not find entirely welcome. Very often around my law school peers, I feel like the proverbial square peg in a round hole.

False Assumptions

Ever since I can remember, people (mostly my dad) have been telling me that I am suited for law school because I am "good at reading and writing." After two weeks of orientation and just one day of actual class, I can attest, once and for all, that this is 100% false.

On the contrary, I have found that I am most definitely not suited for law school. More than any skill concerning reading or writing, it seems that alertness is the real key to success. And as I am self-professedly 'Snorlax-like'¹ in nature, I have no idea what to expect in the coming semester.

Me, in my natural state.

¹ From Bulbapedia, the community driven Pokemon Encyclopedia: Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving on their stored fat. It wakes up only to eat and seldom exercises.
