1 One Try

I'm going to try again to blog. I am told it is cathartic. I need someone to entrust my secret thoughts. My DH and I have recently moved to a new city far from Texas and have no close friends. It's so different and very lonely. I am not sure about the blogworld and hope it doesn't haunt me later.

I'm a little sad today. I am current law student that just finished my first year, the infamous 1L. Unfortunately, some of my fellow classmates didn't make it. It's very disheartening for me to see people who worked so hard during the year just kicked out. One of my friends, I'll call her M, did everything the professors told her, studied more than anyone I know, and put in so much to make the grades but failed anyway. I don't know how I should feel about it. I feel a little guilty because M is very smart, hard-working and such a great person. I don't get it, why did she fail. M is moving in two months and I will really miss her. I don't connect with many people but M and I connected. It really makes me wonder.

On the other hand, some people I don't have such strong feelings about their status. One of the most pompous students in my class also failed out. I disliked (hated) him during the year because he always talked so condescending to me. However, it was no consolation to know that he also failed out (maybe a little). Another student, L, did Sudoko during class and read crime stories during the lecture so I am not surprised she didn't make it. I'm still upset that so many people were kicked out.

Oh, well, congrats to all the 1Ls that successfully transversed to 2L land. It's only downhill from here. ...No, I don't feel better.
