People apparently keep asking my wife if I am enjoying law school. (I haven’t spent much time on the phone myself.) She doesn’t know how to answer, and perhaps I don’t either yet, because what I’ve mainly been saying is that I am surprised at just how time-consuming it is thus far. I haven’t yet found the work to be difficult conceptually or intellectually brain-bending in some way that makes your head hurt, but I have found there to be A LOT of work. I wonder when it is a 1L is intended to sleep? Perhaps the enjoyment will come once a couple things fall into place: 1) I get a better idea of how much preparation of the material is necessary to constitute an adequate understanding (and maybe even mastery!) of it for class discussions and the exams. 2) My classmates and I get to know each other better and develop firmer friendships. I think if either of these things occur, it will turn into downright enjoyment. Right now survival seems more pressing… [Note: a previous entry about how screwed up patent laws are seems to have been lost. When I get over the frustration of lost labor, perhaps I'll post it again.]
