The 1L

Books and notepad at Library

Law library: fluorescent lights and the scratch of highlighters. The humbling, pious studying of the 1Ls – me in a year?

There’s that distraught-looking student at the corner table. With his squirrel-like nervousness, wincing at every sound. And his slight twitch – probably the coffee, or whatever he’s on…

…and his dingy laptop, ever-humming in a pool of highlighted photocopies and books that spread in all directions, like mold, or the lava of a volcano. Me in a year? If so, where?
