Blind Prophecy

Of course, as soon as I posted the blog about Follies, one of our directors got around to uploading a whole bunch of videos from the show. I’m only in a few of these (most of my numbers haven’t been uploaded yet), but I thought I’d share them all anyway.

First up, the introduction of the cocky first year students.

Then we have the rude awakening that the Socratic method and law school classes are hard.

This one is about the rivalry between “fake” and “real” night students – the students in our school’s evening program who have full-time jobs versus those who just have a part-time course load and all the time in the world to study. I’m in this one.

Then we have the last-minute panic of cramming for exams. This is the most complicated dance I’ve done in years. The concept is supposed to be like a flash mob-style dance.

In this one, two students reveal the terrible truth about the second year of law school – it’s so much work. So much work.

This number is about Early Interview Week and On-Campus Interviewing, an annual tradition of pain and humiliation where students beg for jobs. More of me dancing at the beginning.

This one is about the age-old rivalry between the school’s competition teams – the Moot Court team, the Brendan Moore Trial Advocacy Center, and the Dispute Resolution Society. There’s really no chance for the groups to actually face off with each other in real life, so we have to fight it out in Follies.

This was my favorite number that I wasn’t in. It was a bunch of bitching about our registrar – the person in charge of classroom assignments and course registration and graduation requirements.

Finally, we have the traditional 3L farewell song.
