Lawyer

I'm trying to study for my Mass Communication Law exam. It's not going so well.

Our professor has a huge thing for the First Amendment, and literally every single thing we talk about in that class has to do with it. Every single thing. I am so sick of the First Amendment, I don't even want it anymore. That's right, Government, you can now restrict what I say and where I say it! Just please abolish the First Amendment so I don't have to care about it anymore.

I don't know how lawyers go through law school. I really don't. Read the following words: judicial theories, forum analysis, elements of libel, statue of limitations, summary judgement. I'm afraid I have to stop right there because I was thisclose to falling asleep.

I don't have anything against the law, I just wish it wasn't such a dry topic. After a month in this class, I have a newfound respect for lawyers. Anyone who was forced to learn about how the First Amendment was applied to Gitlow v. New York, and still found "the concept of law" interesting is a hero in my book. I can't even imagine what law school must be like. This class makes me hate "the concept of law" so much that I'm thinking about committing various crimes just to get back at the law. Maybe going to some lawyers' office in the middle of the night and spray-painting ""IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO SPRAY-PAINT AND THAT IS WHY I'M DOING THIS" across the wall or something.

In conclusion, the applications, limitations, and expansions of The First Amendment do not interest me. If they interest you, sweet, become a lawyer and make lots of money. I'll always respect that; I'll just never understand it.
