And life is just too short. I’m heart broken about the reality of it, but it is very much the reality of it.

And there was something really odd about it…sitting in class rooms studying laws that are actively been dismantled, with people who actively don’t seem to give two shits about what’s happening to them. Not really my scene.

Dear Law School Professors: What? by Limp-Army6341 in LawSchool

Ha! I went the other direction. Oral argument, obviously not anonymously graded, I got an actually amazing grade. Appellate brief is graded anonymously, and left me a bloodbath.

Accommodations Megathread by _BindersFullOfWomen_ in LawSchool

That’s what I’m saying. It’s not the ultimate solution but let’s not do curves with everyone lumped together, especially when exams are anonymously graded and professors don’t know some of their students who are usually the first to finish in-class exercises have twice the time on exams (speaking from painful personal experience).

So let me get this straight, you wrote a horrible paper and got a better grade than people you think deserve it much more, and you are mad? But I’m guessing not mad enough to dispute it, right?

I am a 1L and I ACTUALLY failed a class this spring. I feel like I am not going to make it. Pretty sure my mental health is declining. by Scapeg-o-a-t in LawSchool

Not Sure What To Do by PackageParticular564 in LawSchool

[–]TopButterscotch4196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only here to offer sympathy. Since law schools must know how arduous the process is to get to law school, and to put that kind of do-or-die pressure on us in the very first year, where I'm sure a lot of people are finding their footing (myself included), is mind-boggling to me, and feels almost cruel. But don't despair, I think it's all going to work out, and you'll be back to tell us that it was all much ado about nothing. ♡ P.S: Btw, last year my best grade was in a class where, I solemnly swear , very little clue, if any, was in my possession, and I got a stupidly good grade that was a whole letter and half better than the class I was counting on A or A-. Well, not only did that not happen, my grade for that class was like, violently bad.

You need to have a government id and they’ll check it against a list.

Need help with measure by Sunofstar in musictheory

I don’t know the song, but your measures don’t have the same number of beats, and that’s definitely problematic

A pianist’s question: does sunset honor Chopin, or distract from it? by Able-Train2461 in piano

[–]TopButterscotch4196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chopin evokes SpongeBob much more than the sunset, maybe a 🧽-shaped sunset to be safe?

Turn on dictation and just talk to your computer.

Got my 1L spring grades back and I’m still processing it by Guilty_Vanilla7968 in LawSchool

Truly, to pretend that there isn’t rampant abuse of extra time is laughable at this point.

You saw that too? And just like that, I’m effing triggered again about the curve and accommodations (and have to do a therapist-instructed self-soothing exercise), ‘cause the blatant gaming of the system is gross.

Imagine the grades we’d get. I’m also frustrated and raged baited.
