Write-on

Well... finals are over yet here I am, sitting in the study room of the library, getting geared up to write a paper. More specifically, the write-on competition for Law Review. Even after my success in Moot Court (and in my Legal Writing class this semester - the only grade we've gotten back so far but I rocked it!), I still am anxious about this write-on.

To make it on Law Review, you have to be top 10% grade-wise (which I am not) OR you have to write a brilliant paper (that must be grammatically pristine). AND it's super competitive because it looks amazing on a resume. I'm not even sure how many people will be submitting entries or how many people they accept - all I know is that I have to be brilliant in order to make it. Also, the write-on lasts two days; thus, I not only have to be brilliant, but I have to do so in a ridiculously short amount of time. No pressure...

I'll update about the write-on, if I have time, over the next two days (not sure how much of a time crunch there will be). All I know is that I'll be writing my brain off for the next two days and hopefully it'll come out well.

ADDITIONALLY when the write-on is done, I'll have a week to write and submit a personal statement to apply for the competitive Moot Court team next year. Even though I did well in the competition, I still have to apply and interview (which means more writing... of course). I guess I'm never really "done"!

Anyway, I'm off to prepare...

Bring it on, write-on...
