Day 6

So the past few days I have really been struggling with the question of whether I stay in Moot Court or defect to Principles of Legal Analysis. It's a pretty big deal because it would put off Moot Court until second year and, in case you were unaware, Moot Court is a big reason I am even in law school. Thing is that though my GPA was humbling, to say the least, it just barely made the cut off of top 75 percent of the class. Principles, you may have guessed, is *mandated* for the bottom 25th percentile. (Now before I go on, I should mention that the break was around a 2.4 for that bottom 25th which is not what I expected to be "shit" grades.) Yet even more important at play here is I haven't been sure my ego could handle any more formative moments. Truthfully in my own twisted mind, there is a stigma attached to what by all accounts is an incredibly useful class. Nevertheless, here we are 3 days and 8 conversations later and I think I have chosen to defect. 2 more talks and a final decision tomorrow, Comrades.
