I HATE WRITING MY LAW SCHOOL ESSAY.

Damnit. The working world has sucked any creativity that I ever had out of me and I have to finish it tonight so that I can give it to the attorneys that are going to write a recommendation for me. Oh good. Man, I can't wait for this all to be over; applying to school again sucks! I can't believe I'm so out of touch after only 1.5 years out of school. Lord have mercy.

Anybody else applying to grad school?
 
Pepsi: I know. everyone hates it. 🙁

That's awesome. Do you enjoy it though? Also, where do you go, if you don't mind me asking?

umm..

If you don't like writing essays, imagine how you are going to feel once you are there.

My gf is in law school and finishing up exams right now. She has maybe slept a total of 10 hours in the last 3 days.

When I read her papers, it's like reading another language.

Goodluck in the rat race

Yeah, the last minute thing pretty much sums it up....well last minute enough for me. I guess I've convinced myself over the years (by never really suffering from the effects of procrastination on my grades) that I'm that last minute, explosion of inspiration kind of writer... Ha, funny I know, but it's amazing what you can trick yourself into believing.


The topic is just general, something along the lines of : Tell us something about your personal, educational, family background that will enhance our knowledge of you...etc, etc...

I feel like everything I write sounds fruity.

then write about this topic that I just made up:

write about a time in your life when things went catastrophically wrong. If there was such a moment, give great detail about what happened and how it affected you. Here's the kicker. Write it in third person. Perhaps have a paragraph first or at the end that explains what you are doing, or feel free to leave it out.

Basically, let them see you for what you see yourself. Include thought proceeses such as how you came to a decision and why.

This will demonstrate your ability to self-judge and will also demonstrate creativity in point of view. Lawyers sort of need to be good at this😉

Finally, it will ellaborate, to the reader that is, your persona in grave detail, and will give them a practical idea of how you will face challenges on a day to day basis or when unexplected happens.


Mad props for the determination:thumbups;

EDIT: I suck at typing

Thanks goose! That's a good idea. Actually, you know, I was kind of typing it in third person without even realising, but now I will maintain it that way. I'll let you know how it turns out.. Thanks again for the help though, I reallly appreciate it. 🙂

 
Yeah, I actually put off law school apps for a year because I didn't make time to write the stupid essay. I figure taking a year to work is something that can only help me, I just have to make sure that I stick to my plan of graduation this June and submitting law school apps next October. Realistically I'll probably just end up going to Seattle University's night program, I don't have support from my parents and I don't have a spouse (yet), so I'd like to remain full time at whatever firm I end up at.

I'm currently at Rutgers-Camden. Great state school, mostly here because I love to work with disenfranchised communities, but am considering transferring up to Columbia. Depends on how the community work goes here.

(Yes my grades are good enough to get in to columbia, here because I want to be here)

This is law school we're talking about, so the minimally acceptable synomym is "execrate".

In law school, you simply cannot eschew obsfucation.
