To be Frank …
It’s hard to believe it, but I am at the halfway point of my first law school semester. Theoretically, I should be half as stressed as I would be during the final in December, but that is, sadly, not the case.
Why? One word: Midterms.
I really shouldn’t be. Of my five classes, the LRW memo “midterm” is 25 percent of the final grade and the Torts multiple choice midterm amounts to just 5 percent of the final grade. However, the fact that finals is just under two months away is not helping me sleep any better.
Despite the stress, we 1Ls still find things to laugh about, like this morning before the Torts midterm.
After going over the written instructions, the test proctor asked if anyone else had any other questions.
Student No. 1: Um. I’m not sure if this is a problem, but I’m not ‘Frank’ and Frank’s name is listed under the name on the Scantron.
Proctor: Oh. Yeah. That might be a problem.
Student No. 2 (a female): My name is also not Frank, and it’s on the Scantron.
Proctor: Anyone else named Frank?
(One more student raised his hand.)
The whole incident was really not a big deal, but it gave the class a teensy chuckle. Also, in retrospect, and after seeing the content of the entire episode written down, it’s really not that funny and probably would not be funny to an outside audience.
Just another testament to how law school is slowly chipping away at my sense of humor, I guess.

You have midterms in law school? Nice!! Where I went, we only had one grade, and one opportunity to see how we were faring–the final exam. Ruthless!
Hi, I am Juliet. I am a junior attorney and neophyte blogger and I recently found your website. I hope that you will consider this invitation to join a new web ring, “The Bob Loblaw Attorney & Law Student Web Ring”.
(Put “Arrested Development” on your Netflix queue if you aren’t familiar with the Bob Loblaw reference.)
Although I have been blogging for only a short time, I have discovered that there are a lot of good sites written by law students and new practitioners, covering a wide range of topics. Finding these blogs, however, is often a long and winding road. Hence, the recent brainstorm to create this web ring connecting the sites to one another.
I hope that you will consider joining. The host entity, Webring.com is a highly recommended web ring service and will not sell or trade your personal information. It is also easy to join. The anticipated result? With a little publicity and a little time we can build a community of sorts, and worthwhile blogs, including yours, will continue to see new and growing traffic.
Please join!–The link is: http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=bobloblawjuniora
Thank you!
