A reflection on the Fall 2005 semester.

I'll do this before I take finals so as not to have a biased opinion.

This has been the most intense semester of schooling that I have ever encountered. However, I can say with total certainty that this is one of the most fun semesters as well. As the years go on, I continue to meet smarter and smarter people who encompass many interesting and eclectic backgrounds. Just when I think i've met the best of the best, I prove myself wrong.

I believe the thing I like best about this school is that not only are people smart but they like to let loose and have some fun. There are law schools out there where people will not go out on the weekends but here, people like to get away from it all and keep their sanity. I know my level of satisfaction with law school as a whole would have been much different had I not been here. That's the bottom line.

Pulling up to BLS in August, I was very excited to be living in the much hyped building but also uneasy about what was ahead. I knew I wanted to be in law school and I knew that I was very happy to be attending BLS. However, I had heard all the horror stories of law school and having come off a year of intense laziness and senioritis, I was afraid I wouldn't be ready. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to snap out of it.

Furthermore, I didn't know if it would be hard to meet people in law school since it was such a different atmosphere than college was. My fears were unfounded. This has been especially true as of late. Another rumor I heard was that people were cutthroat come finals time. Everyone I have seen has been more than willing to help their classmates out.

Law school and its finals are not enough to negate the first 3 months of school. The first 3 months where everything was fresh and there was a lot of fun to be had.

Good luck to everyone on finals.
