Reason #1 Why I F*&%#$^ Hate Law School

Can I please just get some general consensus on my abilities here??? Some professors tell me that my writing academic writing ability is above and beyond that of my peers and my grades in those classes reflect that. Other professors claim my academic writing is below that of my peers and my grades also reflect that. The two papers I worked my ass off the most on last semester turned out to be my worst grades, but they were the two papers that I felt the best about, because I actually put the time into them that I felt they needed. Meanwhile my best grade came in the class where I cranked out the paper in 6 hours without giving much thought to anything that I was writing.

NEWSFLASH stupid law professors: if I really do need to improve then I can?t do so without some constructive criticism. Refusing to talk to me about why I got the grade I got really is counterproductive if you really are teaching law school for the purpose of ?educating the next generation of good lawyers.? And if my writing is actually pretty darn good then why don?t you just give me the F&*#!%^ grade I deserve instead of making me the person who has to take one for the team because you would rather give a good grade (even if it is undeserved) to your student research assistant or the person who kisses your ass the most and wants to be ?your friend? yet the blasted administration at this awful school requires a curve even in upper division seminar classes with 10 students.

Oh, and my absolute worst grade of the semester, a grade so low that I?ve only gotten one other grade of that type, which was my very first semester of law school, happened to be in the class with the asshole professor and the douche bag classmate, go figure.

I HATE LAW SCHOOL.
