Make friends with Richard Freer. As soon as you do that, all of your civ pro woes will go away.

This being the opposite approach from the person I sit next to, who spends their day writing absolutely nothing and vaguely flipping through the casebook.

this is why a decent amount of professors ban laptops or suggest hand writing bc people tend to be unable to focus on the important things and just type away the whole time not really grasping the important stuff

Or, they've already read the CB and two supplements. They know what's important. Class is time to increase typing speed. There is your A student. Bet.

I feel like I'm breaking a taboo by saying this...but I'm actually really enjoying law school so far! I'm about a week in and it's a lot of reading...but I'm really enjoying the people and the classes.

Am I delusional? Is something secretly lurking around the corner that will make me hate everyone and everything?

If you don't think about the money, at least two-thirds of your 1L year should be a lot of fun.

for people who have been in class for more than 3 days, does the workload increase much after the first week?
