So yeah I guess the work was worth it, but now it means - more work?
We law students are a funny breed, fighting over the potential to do more work, and pretending all along that a) we don't work that hard at it or b) we worked harder than anyone else leading to c) the ones who don't make it saying they don't care and d) the ones who do make it also pretending they don't care so the ones who didn't make it won't see them as gunners, and then e) the ones who didn't make it or didn't try are actually lucky in some ways because they don't have the extra work but f) they also don't get to put this shit on their resumes which presumably are read by g) a bunch of people who either h) made law review and know it is the hardest job you will hate and not get paid for OR i) didn't make law review but envy those who did, sadly believing the hype that it is some big deal OR j) didn't make law review and hate the ones who did because they stole some pretend job opp, prestige or girl in the process. Really funny is k) the girl who made law review but thought it was going to be paid (???does she read? l) what does this say about the rest of us that did make it that she is among us and m) closely related, does it perhaps mean the selection is more random than admitted?) and also m) the guy who almost got into a fist fight over have his note published in the first date range possible, because he got the list to sign up later than his nemesis. Truly sad is n) I found the meeting amusing, o) the people were new to me so I enjoyed getting to know them but p) all I really wanted was the free food.
q) That was the world's most pointless paragraph with possibly the most uninteresting runon lodged within it. Which r) tells us exactly what quality writers are selected for my school's law review and s) makes me wonder again, why me? If t) my friends who didn't make the main review u) also don't make the second tier review at my school, v) what should I do - w) console them, x) ignore it so they don't feel bad or y) what the hell - congratulate them on escaping the work?
z) jesus wept?
So yeah. I made law review.

Congrats. Law school is a pie eating contest and the prize is more pie. Eat up!
Congratulations! And, dang, how'd you do that so fast? Didn't you just start law school in August? I thought law review grade-on/write-on usually started in the summer? Or is it different at every school?
Thanks LJT and PT-LM -
We have grade-on/write-on in the winter after just one semester. Another nod to the randomness of the process if you ask me. There is a secondary journal that begins write on in the next couple weeks. Again, grades from first semester only count. Weird.
Congrats!
Very odd -- had we done it after first semester I'd have graded on. Second semester hurt just enough to force a write on. Anyway, gongrats!!
