Videogamage of law school

In some ways, WCL (my law school) can be a little like a video game. You wander around semi-aimlessly trying to get all the required credits. At any moment you can be attacked by the Socratic method. Fortunately, some classes have cheat manuals passed around amongst the student containing the professor's script and warning you what combination can keep you out of danger. Little resume trinkets can be earned with side-quests like joining a law journal or moot court. Like any good gamers, law students can be found wide-awake and red eyed at ungodly hours trying to make it through one more level. The game ends with one last fight with the big boss - the bar exam.

And like any self-respecting video game, WCL has little nourishment packets just lying around for the replenishment of life points. WCL (which some surmise stands for will cater lunch) just leaves food lying around (theoretically its for meetings and conferences, but I don't buy into such crazy talk). Today I turned a corner and found a table full of hamburgers. Last week sandwiches appeared out of thin air.

All this school needs are some sound effects and tinny theme music start showing up, maybe a few crazy characters for extra pizzaz. Although, some guy dressed up as a crab was singing about "textual healing" in the lobby yesterday, so WCL is apparently heading in that direction.
