"Legally Persian"
Remember the movie "legally Blonde"? Well, that was me in law school 2 and a 1/2 years ago! A persian gal right outta Iran who sat for the LSAT after studying for it for a couple of months after being in the U.S. only a month!! I got into law school not knowing what the hay I was getting myself into and remained in total shock for the first year and a half (and still am in a semi-shock) though I did finally manage to make the dean's list and even get a meager amount of scholarship! I have not yet experienced life in the U.S. outside of this nightmare of being a law student. But the torture is soon to be over and we have been congratulating each other for the past couple of weeks. This last semester is going to be hell though, so I have been told. 15 scary units plus bar prep plus lotsa other stuff. All my friends have 10 or less, but as I am a part timer who is trying to finish up in 3 years, I have to deal with the extra pressure. All I want at this point is to pass the bar, get a well-paid job, pay off my loans, and finally have enough to buy a car and may be even a house!!! Hope that is not too much to ask after all that I have been through.
P.S. My old boss wants me back!! She is this young lawyer from my lawschool for whom I worked last year, she now wants me to work for her again as she has expanded her law business and has hired guy lawyers! 15 units and work and the bar and a whole lotta other stuff can definitely drive a persian girl totally nuts but I have decided to do it! I will just focus on work and school and the bar and block every thing else out! Then will check into a hospital or something after the bar.
