A long day at law school

As i come to the close of a long day at school, i will post my first blog and tell you a little about myself. I am 23 and a second year law student at St. Thomas Univeristy [STU] in Miami, Florida. I was born and raised in Jamaica. . .and completed my Bachelor's Degree at the Univeristy of the West Indies. I am one of those that has done the "school thing" without working or taking a break for anything. So... i came to the US just for law school- what a shock that was for me! While it was somewhat challenging to adjust to law school and the way of life of law students i did it and im still alive and kicking. Fortunately for me coming to STU has served me well. That of course required efforts on my part....being a Jamaican i have a little 'hustle' in me- one thing i've learnt is that you soemtimes have to work the system in order to achieve goals. That remains true in the legal community/profession. STU has an environment which allows you to grow and achieve your goals and i have been doing just that. Let me be blunt...the first semester of law school was one of the most difficult times in my life BUT it gets much better...i promise. Being in my second semester of my second year i am extremely involved in the law school community and the legal community as a whole. I am currently on the Moot Court and Mock trial teams at my school...bascially these are honor societies which allow you to show your 'skills' [or the skills you think you have] as an advocate. I am also on one of the Law Review of my school as well as other activities. I try to be invovled...it helps me keep my sanity and balance. some people take a different path...not doing much besides reading those heavy law school books....for me i need a break every now and then.
...and of course there is work...so thats school, extracurriculars and work...how does it all get done? I havent exaclty figured that out yet. Despite this it all gets done someway-somehow. At the end of the day though...after drinking the 4th or 5th cup of coffee ,i think "its not that bad after all" ...what do you think?
............catch you next time!
