Nothing Wrong with Being Average...

Well since I have been deeply involved with learning what it will take to be a lawyer, I figure I should post a blog on a topic that anyone considering law school would be into. Grades.

I just finished my first semester. Class started back up today, and I finally got all my grades back, though no class rankings yet.

My grades for this first semester were a B, three B-'s, and a C. It doesn't get much average than that. I didn't excel in any class, and I didn't do awful in any class. From what I'm told, I shouldn't worry. So I'm not. I'm going to continue to work and hope I can pull a few A's out of this semester. I have been told of a good way to look at grades though, that may help those of you who may be upset by your grades, who may be considering law school, etc.

A students become professors.
B students become judges.
C students stay lawyers.
D students don't graduate.

I have know idea where that comes from, or if it is true, but I liked it. Maybe I'll prosecute a few years, become a judge (like the one pictured: Kenesaw Mountain Landis), then move into becoming a congressman and then a senator.

If you are in law school and got better grades than me, well congrats. Hopefully one day I'll meet you in court and make you look stupid, because while my studying and test taking skills are below your par and are only average, I do have exemplary oral skills... and yes I did intend that pun...

Stay Awesome.
