what's the point of all this?

I recently started law school and spent my first semester fumbling through writing my first case briefs, taking three hour exams, and endless hours of reading and research.  In many ways it was harder than I thought it could be, and in other ways it was a fantastic time of self realization, mental gymnastics of sorts.

I appreciated the time spent with classmates, those who understood concepts better than I for pulling me forward, and those who would insist on reviewing key concepts again to ensure it "stuck".  Interacting with professors is both stimulating and challenging.  I took away a lot from every conversation with them.

For the spring semester and beyond, I am looking forward to implementing some learning concepts I fully grasped only at the end of my last term.  I've learned how I learn, now to put it into practice.
