being in law school

last night you should have read every every word assigned
understood
critiqued
analyzed
briefed
and today you should
remember every detail, thought, question
while
listening to every word of your professor
and classmates
typing or hand-writing
some notes
but not too many because
you must
listen,
then talk with classmates
socialize
discuss
network
debate
collaborate
have fun above all
drink drink
and
don't forget to
help the needy
test your skills
really learn
go abroad
research
--what about journals?
moot court?
internships?
clinics definitely
oh and
of course make time for
your personal life
friends
family
exercise
religion
leisure
New York City!
oh tomorrow,
amen.
