First Week as a One L

I've just started my first year of law school at Drake Law School in Des Moines, Iowa. As my first blog, this will probably serve to rant about my enduring and ever-tiresome year beginning my quest to become a lawyer. I'm sure a few other ponderances will enter into the equation, but since the majority of my life will consist of law-ish things, I'm assuming that's all I'll really have to talk about.

The first thing- dressing for law school is very challenging for me. When you watch movies or tv shows about law students, you always see very preppy looking people. Upon our first day of orientation, the leaders told us that law school is actually pretty lax. Wearing sweatshirts, jeans, etc. would totally be appropriate. When I enter the law school on the first day of class, however, half the law school is wearing suits, business formal attire, and heels! Gahh. So much for CASUAL!

This is what I picked as a good "in between" outfit- not too dressy and not too casual, but we'll see how the problem of getting dressed in the morning adjusts as the year goes on!
