Third day: Time for drastic action

This orientation week is GRUELING. I'm told by other 1Ls (1st year law students) that this is the worst week of reading we'll have all year. Supposedly this is coming from the upperclassmen, but it may also be wishful thinking on our parts. But seriously, I cannot imagine taking this level of abuse for another year. If this is how the workload is, nobody would ever go to law school. Tonight we have 58 pages to read. Folks, we're not talking about US Weekly here. We're talking about flippin' legal history and half a dozen case summaries. The case law is written by judges and read by lawyers, so it uses completely unfamiliar jargon. Know what a demurrer is? Neither do I. Did I mention we have a final exam for this 1-credit immersion course? On Saturday morning?
In light of tonight's near impossible task, I see no recourse but to salvage the overripe Missouri peaches I bought from Hy-Vee by baking a cobbler.

I still think it's so cool that you're actually in LAW SCHOOL. Don't forget how exciting this is!
I'll be popping in here to hear all about it, for sure. And to root you on!
