May 10th, 2010Hello all,So, that’s that. The school year has ended and we are all left another year wiser.After our final exam on Tuesday, most of the 1Ls headed over to the Detroiter for a “post-exams happy hour” and then our groups all went their separate ways. My friends and I did some partying thatevening…and then the post-exam laziness seemed to hit. (To put things into perspective: the day of our civpro final, I showed up to school having s...

May 3rd, 2010I have to be up in about 12 hours…to take my last exam of the year! (Yes, this means that it is about 6pm on Monday and I will be getting up at 6am tomorrow. I am paranoid about being late for my final exams, so I have been giving myself two hours for the usual thirty minute drive in the mornings…)For the past couple days, I’ve been studying civil procedure. Maybe not as much as I would have liked on Friday and Saturday, but Sunday I...

April 29th, 2010Well, I have two finals down and only one more to go.Right now, I find myself in the eye of the storm. I had a final examon Tuesday, an externship meeting (basically about the requirements for getting course credit, and how to get the most out of our experience) and plenty of studying yesterday, and then a final again today. I’m so physically and mentally (and emotionally at this point…) drained. I have decided that no real studyi...

April 26th, 2010Less than 24 hours until my first exam…yikes!Yes, I know I should probably be studying, but I’m of the “I can’t study one subject for longer than an hour without going crazy” variety. Studying for law school exams is something that I think you just have to experience to know just how different it really is. Throughout the semester, you are given SO much information, and the trick is not to memorize it all, but to determine wh...

April 25th, 2010Is it May 4th yet?  Today has been a rough day. It started off well enough with a bit of studying for property at Panera and a shopping trip where I was actually able to find shorts of a reasonable length (and they were on sale!).  Then, just before dinner it was like I suddenly hit a wall. I had one of my epic “I can’t do this anymore!” moments, the kind where I feel completely inadequate and have zero desire to do an...

April 23rd, 2010Well, I made it to the weekend.  This past week was such a weird week. We had our two classes on Monday, two review sessions on Wednesday, and one review session on Thursday…and that was it! Of course until 5pm Wednesday, that time was basically spent on my core concepts assignment, and since then has been property.  Today, I babysat for a few hours in the early afternoon (half day for the kids…) and then headed to sch...

April 20th, 2010I think yesterday was my longest school day of the year… I arrived at school just before 9am to be in some pictures for the school’s marketing campaign. (When you flip through one of the many UDM Law brochures, appreciate the fact that all of the people you see are real students…and I can also attest to the fact that the classroom shots you see are real students in a real class. They came to one of my contracts classes last semes...

April 18th, 2010Hello all, First off, I want to thank those of you who have e-mailed me with your questions and comments. (I should also thank my friends who have had to put up with my excitement upon discovering that people actually read my blog…)  This weekend has been pretty uninteresting. I’ve been outlining for property, and working on my final assignments for core concepts. I’m pretty excited to get my core concepts assignments done ...

April 16th, 2010It’s been an interesting couple days. We had the excitement of the election on Tuesday, where my fellow blogger Ashley was re-elected as president of our class. Yesterday, I had my moot court oral argument tryout. I felt like it went well, but there are quite a few of us competing for a relatively small number of spots. We don’t find out the results until after first year grades are released…yet another waiting game.  Yest...

April 13th, 2010It’s election day…again. Today is the SBA class election where we vote for our class officers. I daresay, as a current 1L, this election is more exciting to me because I actually know many of the candidates. I have to say, I will be happy when the whole election process is over; I can’t stand flyers, and pretty much all of the hallway window space is covered with them. This week is turning out to be a weird week. Yesterday was su...
