So today it was brought to my attention by an as yet unnamed person who we shall call D that I had not blogged about her yet. So let's start at the beginning, our original 1L year. She was in SBA with a mutual acquaintance who we both did not care for. He was an absolute jerk. He decided to take something on my personal facebook page and turn it into an argument. I attempted to leave it alone and he would not let it go, to the point that it almost came to blows. D witnessed this and stepped in and even offered to come to my defense if this person took it to official channels (which I am sure he did but nothing ever came of it.) After that, it was kind of a kindred soul I had found.
2L year we had many of the same classes together to the point that we shared books. However, this was the beginning of my downfall. This was when my health started to deteriorate. I still have some of her text messages where I was beating myself up over having flunked out of law school. Her response was, "BUT YOU COULD HAVE DIED!!!!!!" She was quite simply the rock I needed to keep myself sane.
I call her my law school daughter simply because there is a large difference in our ages. Not quite enough for me to be her mommy but close enough. Unfortunately she is having a bit of a rough time right now and I hope I can return the favor that she gave me this summer.
