Making the Grade

Despite the air of confidence (bordering on arrogance) that a lot of law students have, there's defintely a few things that can put us easily in our place. One of those things would be grades. Although I haven't really encountered the really cut-throat anti-social students here who live and die by what percentage grade they get and will do anything to be in that top 10%, everyone obviously wants to do well. And everyone obviously wants to do well on their first assignment. It might not mean much come graduation time, but a lot of people are trying to assess how they are doing in this brand new type of academic environment.

So this week all the 1L's got back their scores from our big first writing assignment. You could definitely see that everyone was a little apprehensive and as we sat through class today, we were all staring at the clock. "Can't it just be 3:20pm already?!"

Got my grade back and I'm definitely pleased. I was debating on whether or not I wanted to write this at all because I don't like people going around announcing their scores, good or bad. But this is my blog and this is kind of a landmark in my law school career so I couldn't really omit it. And I'm just glad our first test has passed and we all have seemed to survive. Now back to studying.
