See how people from around the globe say Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all the Brendan Loy readers, and a special wish for a wonderful Holiday and happiest of New Years to Brendan.

On a funny note… or at least one you can relate to… our oldest son Will, who just passed the Bar here in California, saw your blog over my shoulder the other night. I told him of your 1L status and he said, “If I had to re-live 1L, I would throw myself over a very high railing.”

He also said to pass this on… It gets MUCH easier after year 1. He also said the trick to doing well as a 1L is to be a good writer, so Brendan, I am sure you will be fine!
