a JD for JSD: another Northwestern California University School of Law journey thread

[jsd]

Oh hey, it's me, from before. it's been a while.

Just popping in to give a quick update, not sure I'll stick around too much.

Yesterday I received my final exam grades back -- I passed my 1L courses and will be starting up 2L at the end of March!

This past year has been a mess and really hard on me, it was difficult to juggle some family problems and this program at times. But I survived and made it through year 1. My grades are garbage, which was kind of an ego blow after finishing Georgia Tech with a 4.0, but a pass is a pass. I'll take it. Some of those poor grades were because of the trouble I had juggling my personal struggles with school stuff, but probably a bigger portion is simply that this program is hard. (law school, hard? who would have thought   )

2L classes don't seem as interesting as 1L, but maybe it'll be a little easier this time around because I know more about how the school works. 

Anyway, I'm alive and moving on full steam ahead. Hope you are all well and happy.
