Imaginary Forgetting

Okay, you've just lost your memories of the past year. I'm going to start with important reminders:

Mother's Day is on Sunday and you haven't done anything about it yet, so, get on that.

You're supposed to write an article for Mitchell and Tom and Philip's magazine thing, it's due on Thursday and you haven't started yet. Sorry about that. You do have an outline and three pages of notes, though, so it should be okay.

You're going to forget everything you learned in 1L, which is unfortunate, but hopefully you'll be able to get along without it. Oh, right, important: you mostly don't hate law school, so you are going to be doing second year even though right now I know you're fully expecting to want to drop out.

Your number one priority for the next while is to find a summer job, so that's what you should be doing with your time mainly. Also there's a to do list on your desk, be sure to look at that.

Okay, important things you figured out this year that I want you to remember:

People are actually pretty nice and it's helpful if you talk to them first sometimes instead of always waiting for them to approach you.

Parties where you don't know a lot of people are actually totally manageable, so don't bother making up excuses not to go.

You always have more time to do things than you think, you're just kind of bad at managing it. You thrive when you're busy, so find things to do.
