SO I thought I'd take a study break to show you my study spot. Taped to the wall are concept maps I've written for each of my four classes, complete with a summary of my outlines. I taped them up so I could quickly reference my notes where I have questions. It's kind of hard to see, but there are also post-it notes taped to some of the pages where I needed to add things. The one clear spot on the couch is where I sit when I study. I don't study at school because I feel like the nervous energy/stress of other people would cramp my style. Also, I like being able to eat snacks while I take breaks. All in all, it's a pretty good system.
Today I've been working on Crim and Contracts. I wrote a Crim essay this morning that made me pretty happy (I only missed one issue which was minor, and I hit all the points that were on the cut sheet). Switched to Contracts this afternoon, which is going alright. It's so hard to know what the "right" thing is to study... I'm doing my best... hopefully it pays off. As of now, I have a feeling that Contracts will be tough for me (mostly because it is the first final we're taking but also because it is the subject my brain is the least comfortable with, naturally), and that Civil Procedure will be tough (because we have covered the least amount of information and will be given the applicable statutes, so the playing field will be really level and the curve is going to wreak havoc on our grades). I feel good about Criminal because I spent so much time/energy on it at the start of the year, which has really paid off, and I figure Property will be a beast of an exam for every one of us, so I can't really worry too much about that. We're taking the finals in the aforementioned order, so I'll get my hardest two out of the way starting next week. Hooray.
On that note, here is the view out my window:
