first day of "One L"

or, the night before One L officially begins...

I didn't know I was such a masochist until I came to law school.

Getting only two hours of sleep for five consecutive days,
being called on in class and answering the prof's questions until she squeezes all the juice out of your brain,
carrying three to four books that weigh on average more than a kilo,
having not much else to talk about with friends other than cases and legal concepts (or relating everything to what we learned in class),
virtually no social life,
the prospect of not being able to watch a single movie for a stretch of perhaps four months,
no exercise (unless I walk to and from school),
and paying $50,000+ per year just to do this.

As horrible as this will sound,
This is SO. MUCH. FUN.

If you think you are a pretty hardcore masochist, you should give law school a shot.

返省

어제 아침에 눈물 질질 흘리면서 회개해 놓고
어제 하루도 그 전날과 아무런 차이가 없이 충동에 질질 끌려다니며 살았다.
이대로 가다가는 툭 부러져 버릴꺼다.

오늘부터는 꼭 반드시 기필코
해야할 일 먼저, 계획한 일 먼저 해야지.

페북과 싸이는 금, 토요일에만 해야지.

10개월만 꾹 참고 잘 해내면 I will become a better, smarter, more mature, more productive, and more confident person.
I know it's going to be hard but I know I can do it.
지치거나 충동에 이끌릴 때 마다 내가 여기에 올 수 있도록 도와준 모든 사람들과 언제나 한결같이 나를 응원해 주는 사람들을 기억해야지.
"Always remember why you came here."
sexy Texan 3L의 어드바이스를 항상 기억해야지.ㅋㅋ

first day of law school

First day of weeklong Orientation, to be exact.
Already having so much trouble following what's going on in class.
Scared out of my wits that I will get called on at some point.
Hopefully not tomorrow, because I still haven't finished reading 2 of the 3 cases yet.
I really don't know how I am going to handle the workload once the semester comes along full swing. The workload then would probably be about 3~5 times what I did today and yesterday.. I might really have to cut back on sleep just to keep up with class.
But I'm glad I could come to Orientation, otherwise I would have had to face full-fledged law school classes with no idea what to expect.

너무 너무 너무 기대고 싶은데,
그렇게 무너지면 어떡해요...
I need you to be strong for me, at least for this year.
나 너무 이기적이고 의존적인거 알지만,.. 그래도 얼른 힘내서 돌아워줘요..ㅠ
