My Bar course is a lot of work. For example, yesterday, I was given an assignment that was due the next day. The assignment involved researching, drafting and presenting to "the court" (really just a volunteer lawyer) arguments for a civil trial. We were given the particulars & the law involved & sent home at 12:00. After lunch, I started looking through my materials. At 10 PM, I was still working. I went to bed & got up at 6 to finish my draft & practice my presentation before presenting at 9 AM. I guess what I am trying to say is...my Bar course is a lot of work.
However. Whenever I feel down about all this work smack in the middle of a beautiful summer, I remember that I actually want to work at my firm, that I am happy with my career choice, that I feel fulfilled by my work. I believe one lawyer can be more effective than a million demonstrators. Everything we have in our society--from sidewalks to the size of sidewalks to, well, everything, started as someone's argument. When I feel unhappy with my life, I need to remember that.
