7 分钟So today I'm sharing another short and sweet good life riff.
Before we dive into it, today's good life riff is actually brought to you by Camp GLP.
So what is that?
It's an amazing opportunity to come and hang out with me and a pretty awesome lineup of gifted teachers and a soulful community of entrepreneurs and makers and world shakers as we literally take over a gorgeous summer camp for three and a half days at the end of August, just 90 minutes out of New York City.
If it sounds cool to you, you can check out a lot more information@goodlifeproject.com.
camp people don't want to have to work to know what you know.
This is just one of the things that we're going to be chatting about in today's short and sweet Good Life project riff today is entitled the Fountain Pen and the Fire Hose.
So I freaked a lot of people out in law school, especially the first year.
I handwrite at about the speed of molasses because I print in all caps, which is kind of funny considering what that means online and how it wars with my outward facing manner.
But that's not what this is about.
Slothful handwriting was never an issue until law school, especially the first year.
There's a ton of pressure to outperform this first year.
It's the one chance to make what's called low review an honor that opens legions of wood panel doors and follows you in all its arcane glory for decades.
Everyone is gunning for it.
Generally, the top 10% make it.
And you can only make it the first year because once you're on, you're put to work for the next two years, writing and researching and editing.
So let's add another wrinkle.
Most of your first year grades are based on a single exam given at the end of the year.
One test, one day, one grade for an entire year.
How you perform on that day matters.
