memo meetings

I feel like I am a lost little girl all over again. I thought that I knew how to do this. I've written memos before. Like 2 and the first one I had no idea what I was doing but anyway.

So we have been having lots of memo pow wows. Today was a good one. I got to catch the knowledge dripping from the lips of a Very Smart Man. Maybe I sound like him a lot too -- I hope not, gotta work on that. VSM was so arrogant that even though he had good things to say, I wanted to jab him with a pencil! Such is law school.

I often find myself being thankful for the small section that I have. Evidently, lots of other sections are filled with arrogant assholes. Mine is not. We have lots of different view points, but we have never actually had an argument in class (like another section. They argued about how to divide or not divide some explanations of elements in the memo. Why would anyone have a heated argument over that? If people don't agree and you think that you are right -- good for you, you should get an A!)

I also heard that one section has a student that has some sort of physical illness and had to drop out last year. Some in his class felt threatened that he might have an unfair advantage, having gone through this memo thing before. The man has a freaking illness and is obviously not good. Like, almost passes out in classes. What jerks!! Is anyone who has written a memo before a threat? What about people who have worked in law firms? Should we not allow them to come to law school and throw off the curve? GAHHHH!!

There is a sense of entitlement that some people seem to have that is ridiculous. I am not part of the group prone to a sense of entitlement and neither are my, uh, people. I, we, many of us, know that the world is not fair. Some people really are smarter, faster, richer or luckier and if you really want to succeed in life, one must realize this and get over it. And get to work.
