My First Class

So last night at 6PM I had my first class, Contracts. My only impression of any contracts class before last night what from "The Paper Chase." Much to my dismay, my proffesor was not named "Kingsfield," she didn't speak with a mildly British accent, and most importantly, she didn't publicly embarrass anyone. In fact, she was quite nice and even gave some tips on how to conduct yourself in law school, and how to study for the exam. I am getting the distinct feeling that *gasp* my professors want us to do well.

In honor of my teacher showing us how to do well I will pass on some gems:

• Be professional in dealing with your professors and fellow students. We're all colleagues now (wow, so strange to think that).
• If the teacher says open book exam, make notations and cross references in your book in pencil (so you can erase and sell them back).
• Adjust your reading habits to fit the class discussion. If your teacher is really big on reading footnotes, make sure you can say something meaningful about it. If the teacher doesn't focus on the footnotes, no need (my Contracts professor advised us that it wouldnt be nessecary.)
