The Learning Curve

I used to be the student who ruined the curve for everyone else. Now I'm in class with 100 of those students. After hours of reading and note taking, I sit down in class feeling confident until the guy next to me opens his mouth and says something smart about the Restatment 2d Contracts & US UCC Article 2.

I grasp at words to respond. I crack a joke that seemed funnier before I said it. I start sweating. I smile (probably with food in my teeth.) I concede defeat.

If only the practice of law were more akin to Murphy's law, I'd be brilliant. It's going to be a long three years.
