Seriously...hard to believe just 30 days from now I will be sitting here without any reading or research hanging over my head! As much as I am looking forward to that moment, it's the moments in between that are taking me to levels of stress I've never experienced before. Am trying to find a way to balance it and be ok with what I am doing.
So...besides regular class work and working on outlines...I've spent time helping with the Don Turner Moot Court competition this week. Monday night I got to be a witness for the defense playing the part of the accused's mom. Tonight, I was a witness for the prosecution. My heels came in handy as I played the part of Buffy, the slutty wife of the accused. Besides being a lot of fun, it is a great learning experience. Watching the teams compete and getting to hear input from the judges is really beneficial. Tonight's judge left me with a little bit of a ray of hope. After watching him run the competition, hearing his litigation stories and learning about his success in law, I was thinking...this boy is definitely a smartie. A graduate of Willamette in 2004, he provided some information that just brought sunshine to this 1L's life. He told us that he graduated second to last in his class!!! Yes, you read that correctly...second to last!!! Now, this is what made me laugh...he said every year he and the guy who graduated last in his class take a trip together to Vegas to celebrate. Isn't that great! Comforting to know that rank doesn't determine success. Now I just need to get that burnt into my brain!
Again...rank doesn't determine success! Hope you are all well! Drop me a line if you have time. Would be so nice to hear how you are doing! I miss hearing from people. I have to remember it's not all about me :-)
