Insanity

No time to write... so much work and it's only just beginning 

Perfect storm coming up:

November = moot court problem releases, moot court research/draft, draft of paper for writing class due
December = work on moot court problem, FINALS, edit moot court brief (Christmas break?)
January = moot court brief due, law review draft due, start classes

That's just the overview. Not sure how I'm going to make it.

October = whirlwind

So much going on... C and I are all packed up and about to take a red-eye to Florida for our friends' wedding. I'm excited to go to the wedding but I'm a little apprehensive because this is one of the worst/craziest weeks coming up, and I'm afraid that I won't be sufficiently prepared because I'm losing this weekend.

Today I took my one midterm (Evidence). I was nervous going into the exam because it consisted purely of 15 multiple choice questions - I do extremely well in essay exams but am not as strong at multiple choice. I studied like crazy in my "free" time after the PA and really knew the rules. I'm still a little nervous about the exam, though, because I could still miss every question even though I know every word of the applicable rules. The questions my professor wrote were complex and the answer choices were tricky. I went through the exam pretty deliberately (forced myself to slow down) so hopefully I didn't fall for any of the red herring answers. 

Mostly I'm glad the exam is over. I have SO much to do next week and definitely not enough time to get it all done. More so than normal. I'm bringing a bunch of work and hopefully will be able to sneak off to get some done at regular intervals during the weekend. We'll see... more to report later.

Off to Florida!

PA done!

Happy to say that my PA is done! I had it done on Sunday, turned it in on Monday, got a free donut from the law review office. I am tentatively relieved - I'll breathe easier if I make it to the end of the wee k without getting the project sent back for corrections. Hopefully I did it well...

After spending a full week on that project, I had put off much of my other class assignments. I am working double-time to catch up with the time I lost. Priority #1 for the next week is prepping for my Evidence midterm. I also have my law review outline due soon (though they pushed back the due date).

One more challenge is a prior obligation - C and I will be singing at a friend's wedding in two weeks... in Florida. I'm happy to attend their wedding and sing for them, yet I also am sad to lose the weekend. I'll just have to keep my head down and work work work.

So much to do...

Buried

Just coming up for air for one second to say that I'm buried with work... our second production assignment is due on Monday. I will be at school every day until then, cite checking my footnotes. Ugh.

So much else to do, not enough time to get it done.

Gotta love law school...

More after Monday
