i wish i'd known

Last night I watched the movie Paper Chase for the first time. If you don't know, Paper Chase is the famous movie from the '70s about first year students at Harvard Law School and one particular professor who scares the living hell out of them. I could say a whole lot about the movie and my reactions to it, but I won't. Why? Because I learned something very important from watching that movie, something I wish I'd known a long time ago. Law school is not that interesting to people who aren't in it. And when you're in it and you spend all your time whining about it, you suck. And you're lucky if anybody wants to be around you ever again.
