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

[lincolnlawyer]

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.

Are grades curved like they are in most ABA schools?
