Moral Support after Socratic Torture

[loner84]

So, it finally happened to me. I was called on this week and unfortunately, the prof decided to experiment on a new line of questioning and I was the guinea pig. With my fiance visiting out of town and me showing him NY this past weekend, I didnt brief the cases as usual, just read them and book briefed.

Anyways, it was pretty brutal and now I feel horrible. I was already feeling rather disillusioned with law school- I came intending to ultimately use my legal background as a platform in an entrepreneurial role some day. And perhaps, a combination with my fiance leaving today and just a general sense of disillusionment thus far, the socratric torture experience sent me into a slump - why am I paying this much to go through this torture again?

I dont regret coming to law school. But, I just wish I didnt have to go through so much red tape to get to where I want.

Anyone know of anything in the NYC area for entreprenurial hopefuls? A place to meet insightful minds as well as those with expertise in programming and such who may be interested in working on a startup?

Moral support welcome, unsympathetic commentors need not reply (sorry guys, already feeling kinda blue)

Thanks

What happens in class is irrelevant to your grade in class. So don't sweat it.

Thanks very much to you both.

I appreciate the kind words. Its been a rough week and your words provide much comfort.

I know all you say is true, but honestly, sometimes I feel like professors live in this realm of academia where everything is theory, and very little practice.

As for the prof that reamed into me, I dont have too much respect for her- she doesnt seem to have some deep motivation to further us but I could be wrong.

Ahhh..just ready for life as a 1L to be over.

Thanks again!

Btw- jrut, congrats on running a business for 20 years. I hope to be like you some day.
