This was the best day of law school so far.
In reality nothing really special happened, but a professor said some moderately kind things about some of my work, and I understood very suddenly (again?) how important even moderately positive feedback is.
I think this is how law school kills the soul, this lack of positive feedback, added to complete confusion and mild to severe depression.
So today was good. I almost want to go to bed now, just so nothing ruins it.

I know the feeling. Earlier in the semester the Junior Partner at work came into my office and told me that the brief I had just turned into him was the best thing I had ever written and that he didn't need to edit a single thing before submitting it to the Court. I was on a high for days. Literally.
Enjoy the positive feedback and cling to it! It means you belong here :)
I know the feeling too. A professor put up a section of my trial brief as a good example of how to write it. No one else (not even the professor) knew it was mine, but it was a good ego boost
