Memorializing 1L year in six-word stories

Today was the last official day of classes for my first year of law school (affectionately known as 1L). While there are still four formidable final exams lined up between me and summer, I felt like writing something about my 1L experience. While I was nurturing that itch to write a blog, I bumped into a link forwarded by a friend about "stories" told using six words or less. Somewhere the inspirations collided, and here's my 1L "stories"...in no particular (chrono)logical order.

1. All seven 1L professors were female.

2. Only 36 tweets since school started!

3. Spring break in mid-life? Not bad!

4. Going to office never felt better!

5. Friends noticing excessive use of disclaimers!

6. Learnt how to legally cite tweets!

7. Page limits against right of expression?

8. Watching “Suits” counts as professional training?

9. Overslept. Was cold-called that very day.

10. Some Acts were hard to follow!

11. Bought a non-textbook. Book report awaited!

12. Relied on jet-lag to finish assignment.

13. “Battery charge?” Lawyers/Engineers interpret differently.

14. Can finals earn ‘extra’ credits only?

15. Who’ll turn 800 when 2L starts?

Well, I guess the last one demands a bit of explanation. My first day of orientation as 1L (first semester) was on August 13, 2013, the day my son turned 8. The second semester started on January 13, 2014---the day my dad turned 80. You get the drift.

And now that I am feeling the cathartic effect of finally writing my 1L "stories," another completely unrelated six-word story just jumped out . . .Blackbox dead. Can you hear me?
