Here Comes Your 19th Nervous Breakdown…

As I sit here staring at this Asset Purchase Agreement, (which could be written in Mandarin  and it would have the same impact on how much I understand), I think to myself, here comes your 19th nervous breakdown.  It may be my 50th but the Stones didn’t write it that way.  I’m pretty sure I passed number 19 about midway through the first week of my  1L year. I remember getting my books for my first classes and it all looked like a foreign language, and at times, it still does.  Page after page of International Shoe, Pennoyer, Erie and Palsgraf made us all wonder what we were even reading.

Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name…

Mom always said the older you get, the faster time goes. She clearly did not take into account going to law school for four years. I am starting my fourth year (part-time student) of law school at Duncan School of Law in Knoxville. I’m 44, married with five dogs and no kids, and insane for thinking this would be something cool and easy to do as a mid-life career change.
