shock and awe....

I just found out I failed my first law school final. The first time I've failed anything. And it was 80% of my grade...needless to say. Now the only grade I have so far is an F. I can't get below a C- in any other course or it's an automatic dismissal. I thought I knew what was going on, ESPECIALLY in that course, but apparently I managed to

In my experience (granted not in law school) usually this kind of thing is good at igniting a new sort of drive in yourself. Yes, you didn't do as well as you wanted, but it happens, we all do it sometimes. Take this as kind of more motivation.

Anyway, I hope stuff gets better, good luck!

im so proud of you for still wanting it despite the bad grade! that shows how committed you are to it, and that is a quality that separates you from the rest. you're putting things in perspective. it's kind of like a wake up call. i don't know about law school, but i've been told that in med school, they bring you down and then bring you back up because that's how you learn. most people who get in are straight-A students, but then get straight c's in their first year cause the workload is unbelievable and they don't know how to deal with it. grad school for me is a bitch and my grades aren't what they normally are. it sucks, but then again, im learning a new way to learn and study and do work.

*HUG* crying and whining help a lot. im here if you ever need someone to complain to! ;-)
