I know every law school has gunners and obnoxious people, I just didn’t expect this one to have as many of them. For all its portrayal as a school that’s like a small close-knit family, to me, it has felt like the law version of Lord of the Flies. My section in particular seems to have the majority of the “survival of the fittest” thinking gunners, where it’s not only impossible to get a word in edgewise, but also full of people whose very voice makes you want to punch them in the face and knock them out.
After class to the professor and I am not making this up:
Student: “Is there a reason I never get called on in class? Do you have something personal against me? Is it the way I’m raising my hand?”
Professor: …
Of course, the next day, she called on him in class and then proceeded to have him answer every question for the entire lecture. It was painful for my ears. If you heard him speaking, you would understand.
Then you have all the students who like to waste everyone’s time asking skylab questions, the law version of “if a tree fell down in the forest, would anyone hear it?” It’s hard not to feel intense hatred towards these people. Along with the gunners, we have the one jerk who unfailingly, from Day 1 of our orientation, puts his feet up on the desk and leans all the way back in his chair, no matter who’s speaking, whether it be the Dean of the school, the professors, or a California Supreme Court Judge. WHO DOES THAT?!???? Oh, and he constantly complains about how he’ll have to give up his beloved weed. Maybe you should have thought of that before you applied to law school, jerkface.
It feels unbelievably claustrophobic here. I feel like I have no safe place here. I’m questioning my reasons for being here, especially at this school. The small class size, instead of feeling comforting and supportive, feels like I’m back in high school, and every day, something happens that could be a scene from Mean Girls, emphasizing how the environment here is so petty and immature.
AND THE ASIAN FLUTE UPSTAIRS WON’T STOP PLAYING.
