December 2nd, 2009I got sick on Thanksgiving and I’m still recovering from what ended up being bronchitis.  Everyone seems to be getting sick; it’s terrible! I worked on property from 7:30 this morning until 3:30, way too much property! This week has been a disaster! First, I got sick with bronchitis, then my boots broke, my coat broke, and today on my way to school my car broke! I’m stressed out, trying to get better, and can’t afford for ...

November 28th, 2009I had a wonderful thanksgiving; it felt great taking a day off from law school. I started not feeling too well on Friday and now today I officially feel terrible. I’m paranoid it’s the flu! If I don’t kick this out of me by the end of today I have no idea what I am going to do. I’m in no condition to study; I could barely muster up the energy to write this blog. Let’s all hope this is just a 24 hour bug....

November 26th, 2009Today was a very long day. In between class and a review session I squeezed in a Barbri video. The barbri videos review the entire course. They are insanely long but you really only need to watch pieces of it. I had asked a friend who recently graduated from UDM law what one piece of advice he had for me as a 1L and he said “be sure to watch the barbri videos.” Some are better than others but they can only help. I’m taking the...

November 25th, 2009I had a very productive morning in the library working on Property. I’ve been working on my computer so much lately my eyes are actually starting to hurt. I have so much work to do; I keep hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanksgiving is just a couple days away! My mom said that since I can’t help with cooking for Thanksgiving, I can do the clean-up. Lucky me! It is so hard getting my family and friends to und...

November 24th, 2009Outlining, Outlining, Outlining…I got to school extra early this morning; I was excited to get started on some work.  After 3 hours of working on my Torts outline, it was time to go to the last regular Civil Procedure class of the semester.   Oh, how good it feels to say that! It was our professor’s birthday so we all sang happy birthday to him and students brought in cupcakes and cookies.  It was a great wa...

November 23rd, 2009I completely overslept! I should have woken up early this morning, but at least I feel well rested.  I’m going to try to be ultra-productive today so I can enjoy myself at the Roller-skating party tonight! I’m getting really nervous about exams.  I’m hoping to feel more confident as the time gets closer.  I feel like I could study around the clock and still not be certain.  The day looks like it will be full...

November 22nd, 2009I was up at the crack of dawn this beautiful Saturday morning and conquered my civil procedure outline.  After 7 hours today it is up to date!  This evening I’m doing torts homework due Monday.  Is it Dec. 18th yet??   I think someone else blogged about this, but let me reiterate… Don’t let your fellow law students stress you out! Comparing how far along you are in your briefs or outlines will stress y...

November 20th, 2009Today I was able to attend another lunch with a lawyer.  I really want to stress that it is a great idea to attend one your first semester of law school.  The most exciting news I have today is that my ALTA class is over for the semester! I turned my client letter in and I don’t have to think about ALTA again until January!  This Sunday our class is having a roller skating night to celebrate the end of ALTA.&nbs...

November 19th, 2009Life throws crazy curve balls….I should have learned by now that planning things out can fail miserably at times because you just never know what life will throw your way. As I mentioned in my blog last night I had fallen asleep for a bit so I was planning to spend the rest of my night working on my memo. Shortly after submitting my blog, however, life threw a crazy curve ball my way. One of my immediate family members came hom...
