January 4th, 2011Not yet back to classes, but definitely back to schoolwork.   I’ve had a pretty fun break, spent a lot of time with family and friends, gotten some stuff done around the house…and now it’s hitting me that I really haven’t done much with any of my law review or moot court stuff this break. I’m planning to spend the next week working on my law review research (I have until February 6 to complete my first draft…only 30 pa...

December 23rd, 2010Done. Done! DONE!  Yippee! I am done for the semester…which means I am halfway through my law school career!  Funny though, if anything, I’ve been busier during my “break” than I was during the semester! A lot of my friends from high school are in graduate and professional school out of state, so I’ve had a pretty rich social life over the past few days. I’ve also been doing the whole Christmas thing: putting u...

December 12th, 2010I’m so close to being done…just one more final, and one take-home!! It’s been quite an interesting week.  This past week, I had a bad sinus infection for which I was prescribed antibiotics that gave made me feel nauseated for five days. That was a pretty sucky five days…but my antibiotics ritual is now over, my sinuses are less angry, and life is better.  On Friday was my first final exam, evidence. As I was sitting...

December 1st, 2010What an emotional 24 hours.  Yesterday started off as a wonderful day. I had gotten practically no sleep because I was putting the finishing touches on my brief, but I woke up feeling good about life. I went to pick up my bound brief (which is 100% submitted and done, as you’ll see from the picture!), got some Tim Hortons, got to school and got the best parking spot in the lot…life was good.  Then I found out after I...

November 27th, 2010I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!  For me, it’s been not-so-enjoyable. Thanksgiving was nice, although I did do some work on my brief that evening. Black Friday involved five hours of working at Bath and Body Works, and then more work on my brief, along with a mild freak out.  Today is the day where everything needs to come together. It seems like many of my classmates are on the finishing ...

November 20th, 2010Today is Saturday, aka Day 2 of my four day weekend. My weekend ends with class on Tuesday, and then I don’t have class again until the following Tuesday. It’s a shame I have that silly thing called homework…  This week seemed to just drag on. On Tuesday, my usual break in my day was taken up by a law review meeting, where we got tips on how to effectively write an introduction to our note. (We also found out that this no...

November 15th, 2010Today was a crazy sort of day.  I must confess, despite my best efforts (well, maybe not…), my summary and externship paper didn’t get completed on Friday. My summary was turned in early on Sunday (it would have been Saturday, but it was a partner assignment, so we needed to make sure we were both in agreement before we submitted it), and my externship paper was submitted this afternoon.  I got up and out early this...

November 12th, 2010Happy 100th Blog Post to Me!  It is important to celebrate important milestones in life. I’m celebrating this milestone by eating a cookie…and then working on homework. (I should point out at this point that I’m not a loser who counts her blog posts. When I save my posts to e-mail them in, I cleverly title them “blog1,” “blog2,” “blog3,” etc...)  We are at the point in the semester where I am challenging myself...

November 6th, 2010Life-of-Leisure-Meagan no longer exists…at least not until December 14, at 5pm.   The semester is in sight, and I’m feeling the pressure. We have full weeks next week and the week after, then Thanksgiving week, a make-up/review week, and then two weeks of finals. Eek!!  Between now and then, I have just a little bit to do. I sit for two exams this semester, plus a take-home exam. Before I even get to exams thoug...

October 22th, 2010It is a Friday night, and here I am doing homework. I have that advanced advocacy argument draft due on Sunday at 8pm, and I really don’t want it to take over my entire weekend…  Today was a good day. I met a friend downtown for lunch and outlining, and then we had faculty advising. This advising gave us the opportunity to talk to different professors about classes next semester, how to fit in all of our required classes, ...
