End of Semester Wrap Up...
Well, I made it through my first semester of law school. I had my criminal law final on Thursday, and it was my last final exam of the semester. I survived, as did everyone else I'm sure. I will not speculate too much as to what my grades are, but I am confident that I will not get below a 'C' in any class, and will hopefully be in the A-B range so that I can keep my scholarship. As I stated previously though, I won't worry too much about it. A timed test does not measure my ability to legally analyze problems. In the real world, you usually have at least a few days to research what you need and come up with an answer. You're not limited on time to how much you can come up with. I've been spending the last few days playing WoW and watching some Stargate SG1, and this will sound weird, but brushing up on my chemistry.
I've always had an affinity for the natural sciences. I've always been fascinated with the way the universe works and how everything operates. There are two reasons I went to law school instead of med school, because I had originally considered both fields. One of the main reasons is that I'm a hypochondriac, and I'm afraid that if I had gone to med school, the stress would literally have killed me or put me in a psychiatric facility, especially working around diseases all the time. Granted, I hear that plenty of hypochondriacs make it as doctors because of the homeopathy aspect of it, but I wasn't going to take the chance. The other reason is that I had to work my way through college, and the only science degrees you can get from any college in Michigan are during the day, when I was working.
Despite it all though, I think I made the right choice. I enjoy learning the law. It's a complex system that has its own rules and intricasies and I can never run out of things to argue with people about when it comes to the law. Furthermore, I feel with a law degree, like a medical degree, I can make a difference in the lives of people who need it most. I can help those that can't help themselves, and that's what I've always been about. I want to help people that need it. I want to use my knowledge for the good of my fellow human beings. Knowledge that is not used is wasted. With a law degree, those who come to me for help will find someone who is willing to fight for them and help them in any way he can.
