My first class of the semester was a bit of a doozy. I probably only understood 20% of the class. To be fair, I went straight from an overnight flight to the school. But only understanding twenty percent of a law school class is not fun. To demonstrate how I felt in this class, I cut and pasted a paragraph of a law professor's lecture, but I obscured all but about 1/5 of the words.
xxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxx a legal xxxxxx, xxx what is xxxxxxxx for sovereignty, must be
xxxxxxxx by law. And once something xxx xxxxxx a matter of international xxxxxx, it
xxxxx to be a matter xxxxxx within the domestic xxxxxxxxxxxx of the State. xxx and xxxx xxxxx
that moment arrive? The xxxxxxxxx examples are xxxxxxxxxx by the xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx by
a State. If in a xxxxx it recognizes that xx xxxx xxx xxx x provide a xxxxxxxxx to anyone
xxxxx with xxxxx of the xxxxxxxxx law, then the State’s xxxxxxx to do so is a xxxxx matter of XXXXXX to other States xxxxxx.
However, this is rumored to be the most difficult class for international students, and even my two fluent friends from Georgetown could not understand what was going on. Good thing my entire semester is pass/fail. Oh man, I love my life.
PS - A man gave me a lollipop in a stationary store today to reward me for my "bueno espanol". BOOM.

Honestly, that's about what I got out of most of my classes anyway. And, it's more fun that way - it's like madlibs for law students, but in Spanish. For example, "
xxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxx a legal xxxxxx, xxx what is xxxxxxxx for sovereignty, must be
xxxxxxxx by law" Could be: Hunting for wildabeasts is a legal pancake, but what is funnel for sovereignty, must be juniper by law.
Fascinating. I miss you!
I generally only listen to about 20% of the lectures I attend. That means that if I were in your position, I'd only understand 4% of the lecture. The question is whether they inflate their grades the way American law schools do. If so, I think you could probably get a passing grade while hearing approximately 2.5% of the lecture materials.
