Law School and Fun with Numbers!

Law School in One Number: 15,000 => The approximate word count of the notes that I have taken in the past week

Some numbers for comparison:

455,125 – The Lord of the Rings
47,094 – The Great Gatsby
24,476 – All of the blog posts I wrote while in London
13,082 – My senior thesis combined with my Independent Study project
7,924 – My senior thesis alone

If you convert between photos and words at a rate of 1000 words/photo, I arguably saved myself 480,000 words while studying abroad by switching from blogging to posting pictures to Facebook. Sadly, that option is not available in Law School.

    Ha! That was wonderful, and that is way too many notes. I am impressed with all your numbers; it gives good perspective.

    Ok so 15,000 x 38ish weeks of classes in a standard school year=570,000 words. By the end of your 1L you will be in the "Atlas Shrugged" and "War and Peace" range.
