October 20th, 2010Okay, so this week may be the closest thing I get to a life of leisure this semester…and I am determined to enjoy it!  My advanced advocacy argument that was supposed to be due tomorrow (Thursday) was moved to Sunday. This means the 48 hour writing freak out period I allowed myself has been spread out over 120 hours or so. SO much better. (Of course, now this means I’m going to be working on my argument over the weekend…li...

October 18th, 2010Wow…I’ve been just a little busy lately.  Let’s see, since I’ve last updated, I have: finished and submitted my evidence paper, caught up on all of my reading (go me!), attended a cousin’s wedding, helped out at an admissions “prospective student” event, cleaned my room (kind of…), completed a sourcecheck for law review (and, in turn, had the closest thing I’ve ever had to an all-nighter: 2.5 hours of sleep), bought a pump...

October 6th, 2010Maybe next week’s workload will be lighter! I say it every week, and I’m certainly hoping this is finally the week where it’s true!  This week is a crazy week for many of the 2L students, at least all of us who are taking evidence. (And I think there are three sections of us, so that works out to an awful lot of students…) It is the week that our “Writing Across the Curriculum” paper is due. The WAC is a UDM Law specialty; ...

September 30th, 2010Happy Thursday!  What a busy week…but at this point in the year, I’ve just come to expect that. I was really worried about my workload for the week, so much so that I created a special “homework schedule” to keep track of it all. I don’t know if I have been particularly diligent this week, or if I just overestimated how long everything would take me, but I think I’m actually ahead of the game for the first time this...

September 26th, 2010Don’t you hate those Sundays where you think to yourself “I can’t wait for the weekend”? Yeah, this is one of those days; I feel like I never quite got my weekend.  My big task for the weekend is doing research to come up with a topic for my law review piece. Sounds easy enough, right? Not really…I’m basically supposed to come up with a novel, legal question (which I kind of have to have done by 6pm tonight…), and then I...

September 19th, 2010Today was a pretty bland day.  This morning, I went to church and brunch with my mom, and then the rest of the day was spent being productive. I had to work on my research assignment for my advanced advocacy class and get that submitted by 5pm. After that, I did some cleaning (it’s as though my possessions just multiply when I’m not looking and then conspire to take over my bedroom and office!), and now I’m taking a brea...

September 18th, 2010When I tell people that I only have class three days a week, they conjure up images of a life of leisure…which couldn’t be further from the truth.  This week was a stressful week. I had the usual amount of reading this week plus interviews; this in and of itself is stressful. Add to that the fact that people seem to have forgotten how to drive this week, which means that I was dealing with heavy traffic all week for seem...

September 8th, 2010Is it Friday yet?  I wish I could say that I had a relaxing holiday weekend, but honestly, it involved a lot of homework. I did get the chance to meet up with some friends, and I did take a trip to the cider mill, so it wasn’t a bad weekend, just not the break I was looking for.  Today, I had my ADR class bright and early at 9am. Then, I usually have evidence immediately following that class, but it was cancelled to...

September 2nd, 2010What a week.  I’m sure most of you have heard the old adage about law school, “The first year, they scare you to death. The second year, they work you to death. The third year, they bore you to death.” Well, let’s just say that I’m seeing where the working to death comes in…  This year, I only have class three days a week (M/T/Th), and I have three day weekends. Sounds nice, huh? I’m working harder than I think...

August 31st, 2010I hope the school year is starting off well for everyone.   This semester, I have an interesting course load. On Mondays, I have Advanced Advocacy, an upper-level writing course required for students on moot court. Tuesdays are my crazy busy days with Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), Evidence, and Criminal Procedure; I have class 9-4pm, with a break from 1 to 2. Thursdays are pretty similar, but I only have Eviden...
